Damn! I should have known. Giants and Yankees fan here. Let's agree to hate each other. Even though, I think Brady is getting a raw deal and Belichick is awesome.

Well I don't think we have to hate each other, unless on that day, our teams are playing each other. Red Sox suck this year.
Besides most everyone on here are good folks, EVEN Giants fans!!! Hope we don't get in trouble talking sports. :)

I have the same situation with an SSD running W10.
You can use Windows Command Prompt (run as Administrator) to Defrag your drive -
>defrag /?
will give you the syntax and options
>defrag c: /U /V
is what I use

defrag will consolidate not only the files, but also the free space on the drive, which gets fragmented too.

Thanks for this. I see that there's a switch specifically for trim. I must give it a try.

Recalling an earlier post (maybe another thread), I just tried "defrag /C /O" from an elevated command prompt and it worked fine, including optimizing the recovery partition (again, not REALLY needed). The defrag GUI now shows all volumes at OK & 0 days since last run.

Hello

I have this problem after moving my SSD to a SYBA SI-PEX40062 PCI-Express 2.0 x2 Low Profile Ready SATA III (6.0Gb/s) Controller Card. The drive comes up "Optimization not available". The controller card drivers are old 6/21/2013 Driver version: 1.2.0.1038 Marvell 92xx SATA 6G Controller Properties. Trim is still enabled if I check it in CMD.

Anyone have a suggestion how to fix this.

I found the latest drivers for this sata card on station-drivers.com but they also caused the drive to become Optimization not available shortly after log in. If I uninstall the drivers and use the windows driver then I have the option to optimize the drive no problem and I see disk usage go up 20% when I click it, which I would guess that Trim is working.
