Enabling TRIM in Windows 7 with a Phoenix/Phoenix Pro SSD

[GSKILL TECH]

Welcome Francisco!

No, Win 7 will detect SSD with AHCI enabled, it will automatically make those changes.

Thank you

Hi all,
my understanding is (correct me if i am wrong), with windows 7 and latest versi?n of inter driver for AHCI mode 9.6.x.x.x.x, and with Microsoft driver....TRIM works for sure.

Previous version of inter driver have to work, but Gskill is still checking the results.

thanks

HI I am using the Nvidia Chipset Geforce 8100,I already done doing the regedit "DSMDataSizeCapInBlocks". This is my Driver version 6.1.7600.16385..I also use the latest firmware Update 3.1 of the phoenix pro SSD.

but I am not satisfied... do I need to set new things or tweak my OS further?



my read and write figures is not so good... can anyone help me? thank advance..

Hi sitchuwap

Because you have already putted DATA on this SSD, so its performance would drop.
This is a known issue.
Only zero DATA SSD can get specification performance.
I am sorry.

Thanks for this post...it finally allowed me to get my SSD on AHCI mode...I think the combination of the mobo bios and needing the additional reg edits was hampering me..

Original WEI score...7.1
New WEI score....7.7

Using Intel drivers...with the regedits...

going to update firmware next and secure erase...reinstall of W7

I upgraded to 3.2 in a minute and Win7 asked me to reboot again.
I did the regedit for msahci (better late than never)
My system is:
- Compaq 610
- Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI
- FM-25S2S-120GBP2

And got low 4K(QD=1) performance... what do you think?

Sequential Read : 198.657 MB/s
Sequential Write : 81.716 MB/s
Random Read 512KB : 193.182 MB/s
Random Write 512KB : 80.765 MB/s
Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 21.516 MB/s [ 5252.9 IOPS]
Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 41.669 MB/s [ 10173.1 IOPS]

sir do i need to do this on windows 7 ultimate 64?

[superH]

@xSephirothGx I believe so... doubleclick your drive and check 6.1.7600.16385 version.

[xSephirothGx]

its 6.1.7600.16385 with 2.1 firmware, so i will need to do this to enable trim?

I thought windows 7 has trim and by typing the following: fsutil.exe behavior query DisableDeleteNotify
DisableDeleteNotify=0 means enabled.

with SSD can i use Deep Freeze? because I plan to use Deep Freeze if it will not degrade my SSD

Hi,
why we recommend customers register this, because Sand force informed us this information.
We think they have reason for that.
Actually I don't think doing this process will affect Deep Freeze or not.
