    Hey guys,

    I just installed a brand new intel X25 SSD in my M860 last night, and want to make sure TRIM is supported and enabeled. Is there any way to check? I downloaded the Intel SSD utility, but haven't messed around with it yet.

    Thanks guys - got this downloaded and it shows TRIM as supported.

    I've turned off windows defragging, is there something else that I should be turning off too?

    Here is a useful thread on SSD tips and tricks: http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware/474521-installing-ssd-tips-tricks-benchmarks.html

    However, the folks there can get a little extreme, sometimes later revising or reversing advice offered in the beginning, but it is still a very useful source for options to be considered to maximize the benefits of an SSD. Just don't treat it like a laundry list and automatically implement the various tweaks or settings found there.
