You are not alone with this issue.

I have an X25M drive which has been doing this for months. I have posted on this forum before to try and get some support but nobody has so far explained what is causing this.

I was hoping to get an answer from Intel but they don't appear to be bothered.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only I did manage to get it to work correctly in the end I turned off my kaspersky and zone alarm protection suite and it went ok just a pain if you to do this each time it seems that the anti virus uses a file and won't let the optimiser read it? I also ran a full diagnostic scan this used nearly all my hard drive when running although I think this is explained in the tool descriptions some where it just means that I won't be able to schedule anything unless I turn my security off anyway I'm sure that windows 7 controls the trimming on the drive
