The problem is that maybe you can't take advantage of the new improvements if you don't install the latest SSD toolbox version If the NAND algorithm improvement is inside the newer firmware and you can download it with any legacy version that would be perfect to me There you can see what improvements have been added to every SSD series and they are still updating old drives (maybe out of production) Intel is probably the only SSD maker that makes their SSD tool release notes available to the public Tried hard to find a verifiable source, just found some obscure french archive of old software.Ĥ.9.7 is the last release before many features were pulled, not sure it will give you everything you want but it officially supports XP and drives up to the 850 Pro/Evo which are the fastest for XP.

If I don't install a 3rd party utility with manual TRIM from the start ¿ will it know what files been deleted since I installed Windows ? Maybe I am wrong ¿ does garbage collection work without this SSD tool ? I know any modern SATA should work on XP but the problem boils down to the software utility that will read everything you do on Windows and then erase unused space when idling or on startup unlike the TRIM command that works constantly. I recommend around 25% unused space, but if you're using a drive larger than 250GB you would probably be fine with less.
