I cannot get the optimizer to function. That is TRIM right? I have Windows 8 Pro installed, two Intel 520 SSDs in Raid 0, Intel(R) Rapid Storage Technology Driver Software V11.5.0.1207, but where do I get the Option ROM? Is it just included with the Asus 1501 Bios? I have an Asus Maximus V Extreme.
The buttons are just grayed out in the toolbox, what am I doing wrong?

Are you talking about the built-in optimizer, or are you talking about toolbox.
When you click properties of your OS drive, same as where defrag was, if you are talking about this, and the optimize button is grayed out, this is because the rom version/ or driver can't see the raid. The driver must also be win 8 supported.
I have seen this, where a different version will allow you to hit the optimize button and you will see that the drive is being trimmed. Now is it really. In windows 8, I have trimmed the raid array several times on several different roms and the optimize shows it's trimming, but the drive is not getting them.
As for the Intel SSD toolbox, the newest version must have like parsec said, a driver newer then 11.5, as you can see the driver notes only show win 8 after this. You must have intel SSD, as the tooolbox will not work on any but intel SSD's.
