nets Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I am running Corsair Force 3 240GB (the blue version) as the boot drive an on Windows 7 64bit Acer Timeline laptop system. It's a good combination for pretty generic use. Small read/write transactions are slow (latency) but not enough to get a new drive. After toolbox came out i easily upgraded to 5.05 firmware and ran optimize. After several minutes of churning, my laptop ran much faster (i guess the older firmwares *may* have ignored TRIM?). Either way, the occasional "cleanup" makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I sometimes run the Toolbox Optimize feature and after it reaches 100% my drive seems to lock up for what seems forever (sometimes it comes back after a few minutes and sometimes it never comes back). Q) Am i not using the feature correctly? Q) What is a realistic time to wait for a full drive TRIM? Q) What can i do to reduce the chance of a drive lockup? Thank you for your time.
