Having some dobts on TRIM & IDE Mode setup for Corsair Force 3 SSD

**Nidra** · 10-12-2011

I newly purchased Corsair Force 3 SSD that is of 120GB. I have read specification about the same that it worked with SATA2 and supported TRIM. My Dell motherboard including ICH9R southbridge. But it doesn't have an AHCI option in the BIOS. It has only IDE and RAID which run SATA2 ports. I have also heard that the TRIM won't work in IDE mode. Why is it so?

TRIM could doubtlessly not work. Anyway you could probably attempt checking.

Code:

Command Prompt>type this "fsutil.exe behavior query 
DisableDeleteNotify" (no quotes)

If it says "DisableDeleteNotify = 0" then TRIM is running. if not, try typing "fsutil.exe behavior set disabledeletenotify 0". Also there is Garbage collection that takes place in the SSD Controller.

There is hardly any need or use of AHCI for TRIM to displayed or method, and an AHCI driver tries not to prepare or put TRIM in a PC. TRIM is a SATA protocol command, particularly an ATA Data Set Management command. What is required is an arrangement to send the TRIM command, and Windows 7 does simply that, as well as Windows Server 2008 R2. Vista and XP try not to have the competence of issuing the TRIM summon. A few alternate PC OS's furnish TRIM, incorporating Apple's Lion and Snow Leopard, but the items of in what discommand and how to prepare it on Macs I don't know.

Many producers of SSD have systems that can manually send TRIM command to their particular SSDs , so it is a great assist with Windows XP and Windows Vista. It's inquisitive how the TRIM command appears to be so jumbling noticing under what factors it is ready. Since you filter through every last trace of the falsehood, the response might be found.

You should know that the RAID and AHCI all around share the same driver and qualities on comparison with the AHCI enabled functionality. In the event that you needed to analysis, put the ICH9-R in RAID mode, installed the OS clean, loading again the Intel RAID driver when provoked for drivers, and test the drive. You'll in all probability get AHCI back on that single drive which will give you preferable display.

Intel as a matter of fact suggests setting the SATA mode to RAID as opposed to AHCI when you set up the driver for the first time, subsequent to adapting from AHCI to RAID later will create issues. The Intel driver for AHCI and RAID is indistinguishable. When in RAID mode, a SSD that is not part of a RAID exhibit a few or more drives in RAID 0, 5, and so on will gain the TRIM summon actually fine, although SSDs in a RAID array should not get the TRIM command.
