Is there any other way to check the TRIM? any program that write large sectors on the drive and then repeat the process? something like that?

Have you ever done a look into the start post of >this< thread?
The manual TRIM test by using a Hex Editor is much more sensitive than the automatic TrimCheck Tool method.

The RAID looks to be working fast. Just the TRIM is bothering me..

Sandforce Controller SSDs usually have a very effective Garbage Collection. That is why the TRIM support is not that important for such SSDs.

Hi! I'm Back!
Well. Right now I'm testing the TRIM with the Hex Editor. I searched all the SSD with the Hex Editor to be sure that it is not a duplicate code, and after the tests, it confirms that TRIM is not working :(
The Hex codes remains the same after the file been deleted and recycle Bin erased. even after a System Reboot!

This is so puzzling! May I be doing someting very wrong in my RAID?

No, unless it is not an Intel RAID0 (Striping) array.

An Image just to show some information.

EDIT: I found some people saying that Windows 8 does not support TRIM in RAID0, just Windows 7.. Its not true Right!?

Right - this is not true.
The difference between Win7 and Win8 regarding the TRIM in RAID0 feature is, that Win7 just supports the TRIM command, whereas Win8 additionally supports the "Unmap" command, which is able to pass through SCSI Controllers. That is why Win8 doesn't need and doesn't install the Intel RST(e) SCSI filter driver named iaStorF.sys.

Thanks for any help.

To be honest, I do not recommend to insert any Intel RST RAID ROM of the v13 series into the BIOS of an Intel 5-Series chipset mainboard, because they have not been designed by Intel for being used with old Intel chipsets.
Furthermore the Intel RAID ROM v13.5.0.2118 is not the latest and best OROM of the v13.5 development branch.

For users with an Intel 5-Series chipset RAID system I would prefer either
a) the Intel RST RAID ROM v11.2.0.1527 in combination with the Intel RST RAID driver v11.2.0.1006 (if you want the best RAID0 performance) or
b) the Intel RST(e) RAID ROM v12.9.0.2006 in combination with the Intel RST(e) RAID drivers v12.9.4.1000 (if you want the latest Intel RST driver/OROM versions, which fully support 5-Series Chipsets).

i'm using Intel AHCI/RAID 13.5.0.1056 WHQL (official) in RAID mode (P55-UD3 AHCI mode not supported by 13.x drivers / use drivers 12.9.4.1000 or older if you want AHCI)
How to set RAID: BIOS-> Integrated Peripherals-> PCH SATA Control Mode-> RAID

If he would set the Intel SATA Controller to "AHCI" mode, the Intel RAID ROM of the BIOS doesn't matter, because it will not be used by an AHCI system.

Thanks for the info.
After having done a deeper look into the start post I have realized, that it has been cut by the Forum software, because it was too long.
Meanwhile I have set some "spoilers" into the post with the result, that you and the other users can see the full text and all download links.
Furthermore the new compact structure of the start thread wll make it easier for the visitors to find what they want.

Thanks again!
Fernando

EDIT 1:
As I just have realized, the reconstruction of the start post didn't solve the problem, that the last lines of the thread have been cut by the Forum software.
I will try to repair it as soon as possible.

EDIT 2:
The problem was not the length of the start post, but the amount of characters within it.
So I could at least solve the problem by deleting some links to meanwhile outdated or less interesting AHCI/RAID ROM modules.

Hi people! I'm back to say that in a strange way, the TRIM seems to be working.. I've executed the TrimCheck Tool, and after two days (with low Write in SSD) I've executed the Tool again and it shows that TRIM seems to be working..
Look the Picture..
