Manual Optimization of SSD vs enabling TRIM
I have a factory installed SSD and also a second 7200 rpm HDD. The factory default setting SATA mode for BIOS/UEFI storage controller is RAID instead of AHCI. To enable TRIM, it would require the RAID configuration to be changed to AHCI.
What looks strange after running fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify is that both
NTFS and ReFS file systems return '0'. But next to '0' is the word (disabled) in parenthesis.
Both file systems return the same 'mixed' results
I ran from the elevated command -> fsuil behavior set disabledeletenotify NTFS 0 to see if this would remove the word (disabled) after a new query - No luck
I emailed Dell to ask if they could explain what I'm seeing and if TRIM is enabled or not.
I think what they forgot maybe in the reply is my SSD's firmware possibly doesn't support the enablement of TRIM ??? I don't know what they're trying to communicate at times because of the language barrier. But they were good at deflecting the question though about the mixed results I'm seeing.
My guess is TRIM is not enabled. And whether optimization that Windows runs on schedule (say once a month) performs the same garbage collecting as TRIM does will remain a mystery until an intelligent explanation comes along.
