So I try to run TRIM tonight and the Intel tool won't let me.
TRIM can't be run when your drives in a RAID array, it tells me. Great, but my drive isn't and hasn't been since I got the drive - backed up by the fact last time TRIM was ran was the 16/7/2010.
I go into the BIOS anyway and there it is: SATA set too ACHI, all drives running off the ICH. Now, Friday 16th I received my new BD-RW'er, which is SATA based - disc drive I had before was IDE. Friday the 16th I also the last time TRIM ran.
The only thing i can think is that somehow the disc drive is causing a conflict some how. I'll have to have a look tomorrow as its a bit late to start taking screwdrivers to my case but has anyone else been faced with this issue before ?
