TRIM is not active without optimizer

[idata]

Appreciate any corrections to the following:

Per Intel, "The Intel SSD Optimizer is the tool that implements Trim functionality."

And, since SSD Optimizer is part of the Intel SSD Toolbox, those of us with new G2 SSDs cannot utilize TRIM until the SSD Toolbox download is available.

Thats not true, you can utilize TRIM in windows 7 using standart microsoft driver (msahci)

Then explain Intel's comment: "The Intel SSD Optimizer is the tool that implements Trim functionality."

Does using the Microsoft driver mean that I shouldn't load the Intel chipset drivers? I'm using an Intel DX58SO board.

The chipset driver is not your storage driver. We are talking about Intel Matrix Storage driver. The current IMSM driver does not support passthrough of the Trim command. You will need to use the native MS AHCI driver to get Trim support in Win7 today. The next rev of IMSM coming out early next year will have support for Trim included
