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.02-09-2011 04:41 PM

More definitive info:
So, apparently, we do need the Toolbox download to implement TRIM in Windows 7.

Look at the heading in the third column: "Execution Environment"
IMO: there is no [manual] execution of Intel's Toolbox required as Win 7 has "Native OS support"
