![]() ![]() And only Windows 7 supports trim - neither Vista nor XP can do it. Trim: TRIM support has to come from within the Operating system itself a driver or any other application alone won't get you anything. The purpose of this feature is to maintain the SSD's performance. Active Garbage Collection does background clean-up on the drive and runs when the SSD has power, but is not actively reading or writing data. Leave the system in this menu for 6-8 hours, which will power the SSD but not execute any operations, allowing Garbage Collection to run.Ĭrucial SSDs have a maintenance feature called Active Garbage Collection built into the controller of the SSD. Garbage collection: On a PC, power on with the SSD installed and enter your system's BIOS or UEFI (please refer to your system manufacturer’s documentation on how to access the BIOS). We are taking an opportunity to explain you on both this features and how it is going to work without Storage Executive. It is just that it has some reference images that will definitely help you to understand you’re on the right track.Īlso, you have mentioned Trim and garbage collection would need Storage Executive which is not true. We are asking you to follow the steps given below and please do not think that it is a lengthy process due to which we’re not explaining it here in e-mail. We are quite confident that this method will not let you down by thinking that only Storage Executive does all the job for the Crucial Drives. However, we have a solution for you to update the firmware using second method which is called Bootable ISO image provided by Crucial. We certainly understand that you are looking for a storage executive software that supports 32-bit version and this is not a mistake by our customers asking for it. We value your feedback and our customers. I know the Samsung 850 was still recognized with that version 4.9.X because the 850 SSD was releasd in 2014-2015īut didn't know anything about the 950 which is by the way one out of the few rare drives with OPTION ROM so I can even get the NVME version for a legacy BIOS (not UEFI) based mobo.Ĭopy paste, this is from Crucial customer support. The problem is that maybe you can't take advantage of the new improvements if you don't install the latest SSD toolbox version If the NAND algorithm improvement is inside the newer firmware and you can download it with any legacy version that would be perfect to me There you can see what improvements have been added to every SSD series and they are still updating old drives (maybe out of production) Intel is probably the only SSD maker that makes their SSD tool release notes available to the public Tried hard to find a verifiable source, just found some obscure french archive of old software.Ĥ.9.7 is the last release before many features were pulled, not sure it will give you everything you want but it officially supports XP and drives up to the 850 Pro/Evo which are the fastest for XP. Looks like old versions of the Samsung Magician software are hard to find even with. with a 50GB partition I have enough space for XP and a bunch of unused programs Reply 22 of 42, by kasfruit I have read multiple recommendations 10%, 20% for this ''overprovisioning'' thing. If I don't install a 3rd party utility with manual TRIM from the start ¿ will it know what files been deleted since I installed Windows ? Maybe I am wrong ¿ does garbage collection work without this SSD tool ? I know any modern SATA should work on XP but the problem boils down to the software utility that will read everything you do on Windows and then erase unused space when idling or on startup unlike the TRIM command that works constantly. I recommend around 25% unused space, but if you're using a drive larger than 250GB you would probably be fine with less.
