Intel recommends disabling superfetch. Some people don't. I have run mine both ways and see no difference.

Well, to see it in effect, benchmark your new SSD (pretty much done). Then, fill it up so all blocks are written to (if you run the full diagnostic scan from within the intel toolbox, it should write to pretty much the entire SSD, save a few gig) and then benchmark again. You might have to leave some time after writing to it so TRIM can do its thing.

The only way to know TRIM is working is via testings before/after a few GBs of random writes/deletes.
Otherwise...
1) If your OS supports TRIM (W7, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, etc)
2) If in Windows, run "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" via CLI. If the result is '0', TRIM is enabled by the OS.
3) What SATA driver are you using? (Microsoft or Intel only)
4) Confirm the SSD is plugged into a controller using the MS or Intel driver.
If all four points are met, you can assume TRIM is working.
