did you notice a lost of performance restoring images to ssd?

Are you sure? I know that 8 added this feature but when did microsoft backported it in 7?

your hard drive needs to be in AHCI mode

 

I don't think that's what Pandlouk is referring to. You mentioned defragging.

 

the Disk Defragmenter runs Trim for a SSD instead of a regular defrag like it would for a platter drive.

 

And herein lies Pandlouk's question which you didn't answer.

 

i think i did.

or maybe i did not understand the question properly...

 

When did Microsoft backport this defragging technique to Win7 when it was introduced with Win8? The link your provided says nothing about that.

 

i think it was always there.

it might behave a little differently on Windows 7 than 8.
maybe someone here who has Win 7 can open the Disk Defragmenter and see what's there.
my memory is not too good.

 

Windows 8 defragmenter performs a trim when run on an ssd.
Windows 7 defragmenter (at least to my knowledge) does not, unless MS released a hotfix or something.

The answer is no unless something changed. Your link says nothing of that. So what is your URL supposed to say?

 

well, it runs it automatically then from what i gather on Win 7.

 

can you open the Disk Defragmenter and check out to be sure?

 

Do you realize in the URL you provided, someone posted "Also be sure to disable windows 7's disk defragmenter! It could be harmful to your SSD."

 

can you open the Disk Defragmenter please if you have a SSD, Windows 7, AHCI mode and see what's there?

 

See what's there? What do you expect to see? This is irrelevant.

 

run the Disk Defragmenter to see if it Optimize instead of defragging.

 

What the software says and what the software does are two different things. Let's stick to facts as documented by Microsoft.

 

No need to

tnx pandlouk.

like i said, my memory ain't what it used to be.

so Win 7 does auto-trimming apparently then.
so i guess, that's another good new features of Win 8.
