Thanks guys, your posts have answered my questions. I will just ignore what System Mechanic is telling me. Like I said, I have NOT let System mechanic do anything with these files. I wanted to find these answers first.

Redux, what I am saying is that System mechanic is telling me that I have misaligned files and also fragmented files. I haven't allowed it to do anything to possibly correct the issues. I have been using Sys. mech. for as long as I've been using this SSD and it has never told me anything like this before. that's what made me think that TRIM is not working. I just ran the system configuration tuner and it tells me that everything is optimal. So I guess that what Sys. mech. is telling me is just a false report. Anyone ever seen this before?

Intel 160Gb SSD has a lot of misaligned files and is fragmented

I have an Intel 160Gb X-25M SSD that I've been using for about 1 year and it's been great. Last night when I ran my System Mechanic program, it said that my system drive (Intel SSD is my only drive) has 45,000 misaligned files (19Gb) and 3340 fragmented files (6.77Gb). I thought how can that be since I have TRIM enabled. So I did the cmd prompt query "disabledeletenotify" to make sure TRIM was enabled and it was. Next I put about 10Gb of data in the recycle bin and then emptied it to see if I had a lot of hard drive activity (to verify that TRIM was doing it's job) and didn't notice much activity on the hard drive light at all. So I'm wondering if TRIM is really working. Does anyone have any ideas? I've never seen this in System Mechanic before. I also ran the optimizer in the Intel toolbox which took about 2 secs, but didn't help the problem.

Re: Does TRIM really work with SSD's in RAID with the new driver?

Does anyone know for SURE if these drivers allow you to run SSD's in RAID with support for TRIM? It seems as though it may not work.

Raidman, yes I do have the G2 X-25M's. If it's true that the new driver doesn't support RAID, then I will wait until it does. Thanks for the info!!

This article seems to disagree http://www.techreport.com/discussions.x/18653

Do I need to use any special program to wipe my existing SSD before I RAID 2 together, or do I just reformat?

going from 1 SSD to 2 in RAID

I am currently running 1 Intel 160Gb X-25M SSD under Windows 7 64-bit using the Microsoft driver msahci so I get TRIM support. Now that Intel has finally released a new RST driver that supports TRIM I want to get another 160Gb X-25M and run them in RAID 0. In order to do this will I have to wipe my existing SSD first then start everything from scratch or is there another way to do this? If I do have to wipe my existing SSD first, what do I use to do this?

Does anyone else have an opinion on this topic? Not that I don't trust you Mister IT, I would just like to have a few more opinions.

Defrag registry?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 01:06:00 GMT

I have an Intel 160Gb SSD. I know that I shouldn't run a defragment on it, but is it OK to defrag the registry?
