Easier and more precise way:

1) setup your system w/ win 7
2) install amd drivers
3) run cdm
4) DL and run freespace cleaner HERE....BUT do NOT tick the FF option (just run it "as is"). This will write all nasty 0's to the drive. making it extremely degraded
5) run freespace 3 times just to make sure ALL unused NAND cells are nice and dirty including all the over-provisioned cells ;)
6) rerun CDM

for extra bonus points:
7) run freespace cleaner once WITH FF option ticked to "clean" the drive and get it out of a degraded state
8) install MS AHCI drivers
9) run cdm
10) run freespace cleaner with OUT FF option three times to get it dirty
11) rerun cdm

post all sets of results ;)

eh i see that others have pointed out what i was talking about. waiting benchmarks. thanks jay51 try some sleep it helps ha ha

My understanding was that just installing/partitioning wont clean the drive, thus for steps 1 through 3, the first CDM with AMD drivers may not be an accurate read of a 'clean' drive to dirty to see if trim is working. Is this a misunderstanding of mine?

[AkG]

True. But unless the drive has been used hard, it should have enough free non degraded cells for a single CDM run.
And even a "normal" dirty drive vs a totally 100% dirty drive will be night and day in the dif. SF drives get UGLY when totally degraded.

But good point. Assumption is never a good thing :)

burning my .iso for fresh install now .. be back with results ASAP..

here are my results , one thing imunsure of tho is if i left freespacecleanear running long enough, is it suppose to end or just keep looping ? i let it run awhile 30-40 passess..

EDIT im getting new results now, figured out the frespacecleaner,,it takes awhile,i need patience ..haha

ok here we go
MS AHCI DRIVER WITH FF


MS AHCI WITHOUT FF AFTER 3 RUNS




AMD RESULTS SOON ...

[jay51]

AMD AHCI DRIVER +FRESH INSTALL


AMD AHCI AFTER 3 RUNS SFC


so from the looks of these here results, is itsafe to say i want to use the MS Driver?

[Sagath]

Looks to me like trim IS being passed with the MS drivers. You're getting approximately 100/120/8 writes clean and dirty with the MS driver, and only 50/45/8 writes with the AMD AHCI driver. This puts it to rest in my mind with this particular chipset of AMD's. What AMD chipset is this with for the record?

Awesome work Jay. Hopefully we can refer to this thread the next time this pops up. Thanks so much for your hard work!

[ipaine]

Great work jay, should help out those with AMD.

But I do have one question, why still using CDM 1? They are up to version 3 now. I'm not sure if it would make a difference or not with results but I think that is the version most people are using. Actually does anyone know if there are any differences with regards to results with version 1 - 3 of CDM?
