Does the Runcore 64 gig for the Dell Mini9 have TRIM support? Or is that an OS specific thing that works with all SSDs?


Thanks

The OS and the SSD have to support the TRIM command.

In that case, does this particular SSD support the TRIM command?

Anyone know the answer to this?

FYI:

To determine if your SSD supports TRIM in Windows 7, open a console as Admin;

fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify

If the console returns a '0', your drive supports TRIM and it is ENABLED.

If it returns '1', the file system has disabled TRIM for your drive. This means your drive's controller does not support TRIM.

I'm running Win7 RC on my Mini 9/Runcore32GB right now (switched after the OS X 10.5.8 sleep problem; I bounce back and forth often), and I ran the command above. It indeed returns a 0!

Thus, the RunCore drives for the Dell Mini 9 do support TRIM when running Windows 7, and possibly will if Snow Leopard supports TRIM (which it probably will, since MBAs and MBPs are coming with SSDs now).

Running "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" on a Windows 7 machine that doesn't even have an SSD returns 0. So I don't think this is an accurate way of determining if the drive supports it or not.

It was demonstrated in another thread that this fsutil method is worthless for detecting TRIM support.

In that case, is there a better way to detect TRIM support?
