| 1450469 | 2018-06-12 23:45:00 | In the Command Prompt, entering "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" gives the result "NTFS DisableDelteNotify = 0 (Disabled)" but this does not make sense since apparently the " = 0 " means everything is all right and TRIM is enabled. I have used this website (hetmanrecovery.com) as a guide. How do I enable TRIM on my SSD? It is a Crucial MX500, 250 Gb. Or is it not necessary to enable TRIM? Thanks |

If you clone the drive from a hdd it pays to check just in case the OS doesn't notice the change but it'll likely activate itself there too. Check that Defrag is disabled while you're at it. |

Yes, sorry I forgot mention that I have Crucial Storage Executive; no new updates available so all OK with that. It is not the firmware update that I am questioning but the TRIM being enabled. |

Well I did clone Win10 from the old spin disk HD to the SSD. From my original post: In the Command Prompt, entering "fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify" gives the result "NTFS DisableDelteNotify = 0 (Disabled)" but this does not make sense since apparently the " = 0 " means everything is all right and TRIM is enabled. What is confusing to me is that the " = 0 " should indicate that TRIM is enabled but it has "(Disabled)" |

| 1450474 | 2018-06-13 02:51:00 | I've never dabbled with the command line for SSDs, my SSD is a Samsung and the magician software let's me know everything is set correctly. Does Crucials software not do that? Did you try the trimcheck utility mentioned on the page you linked? I see why you are confused, it'd be nice if that (disabled) text wasn't there or they showed in on the screenshots for the guide so you knew it was normal. All I found googling it was another site with the same instructions and screenshots and they don't show any text after the number on any of them. The only other thing I can think to ask is what mode is the BIOS set to for the SSD ? Trim requires AHCI or RAID mode I believe. Be aware you can't simply change it or windows may not boot. |

I would like to set it for AHCI mode (the Crucial software tool advises this) but I did read that Windows may then not boot so I am not sure how to go about changing over to AHCI. |

| 1450476 | 2018-06-13 04:05:00 | Storage Executive should have told you you were in IDE mode. (I now see you mentioned that - I shouldn't have assumed that it said things were all good earlier sorry). You're missing out on half the SSD's performance too! Assuming you're running windows 10, all you should need to do is fire up MSCONFIG and choose 'Safe boot - Minimal' then reboot the computer, go straight into the BIOS, change to AHCI, then let it boot in safe mode, in MSCONFIG change back to normal boot and reboot. if you get a BSOD on boot, don't panic, change back to IDE mode and there is a registry file that needs to be edited. Generally you don't need to so this with Windows 10 though. 8879 In that pic, (this is a MX500 on a SATA3 connection) left hand is IDE mode, right hand is AHCI. Significant difference. |

| 1450478 | 2018-06-14 03:43:00 | You end up trying to change to AHCI Strommer? Regardless of TRIM it's definitely sensible to change. | wratterus (105) | ||
