jon1984 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hello all. I have 2 Force 3 90GB configured in RAID 0 with a MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)board. Lack of TRIM in this old chipsets are a trouble I guess. My main question is how to ensure maximum performance from the array. People say when the drives are idle garbage collection kicks in to maintain performance levels. So I normally log out my session and the PC is configured to suspend itself after 30m. On energy options I don't let my drives turn off. Am I doing this correctly? What advice can you give me to keep the performance levels? More so, can someone explain how garbage collection really works? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More info on GC http://www.sandforce.com/userfiles/file/downloads/FMS2011_T1A_Smith.pdf Yesterday I made some discovery, got into cmd and set "fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify" and the returning value was 0, meaning TRIM is enable... Is it normal? I thought that INTEL was only releasing TRIM in RAID for the new board chipsets. Can some one confirm this? I have the latest BIOS and drivers.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 31, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 31, 2013 The drive supports TRIM and the O.S. supports TRIM so the other part of the equation is the controller if its passing the command then TRIM is working I would suggest speaking with the controller manufacturer if you want conformation.

I can confirm its not working yet. As advised by Intel, TRIM command only passes through the latest 7 chipsets, not the 6 like my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
