    Default INTEL X25-M SATA2 SSD 160GB 2.5" + SSD Toolbox

    Hi

    I need some advice.
    I just upgraded my old hard drive to a new INTEL X25-M SATA2 SSD 160GB 2.5" RETAIL (SSDSA2MH160G2R5). It's the new G2 drive, 34nm.

    My question: should I install Intel SSD toolbox or not? Do I REALLY need it, or is it just for showing me some numbers etc. If it has no practical benefit then I would rather not to install it. I'd like to keep my OS as clean as possible.

    I'm using Windows XP Home SP3.

    Thank you in advance.

    Definitely. The Toolbox has a manual TRIMing tool. Windows7 does TRIM automatically, but not Vista or XP.
