Several weeks ago I posted a time or two about my Falcon 64 SSD. At that time it was brand new and running numbers almost up to factory specs.
Over the last several weeks, I have read, tweaked, wiped, etc. and watched as performance dropped to where the highest numbers were 150 or less.
I was going back through things today and downloaded a fresh copy of wiper.zip just in case something had been updated. Installed it. Ran it -- the window opened and since my machine is super fast closed almost a quickly.
I decided to run it again and when I right clicked to hit "Open" (I do that sometimes!!) I saw the "Run As Administrator" option and had the thought that sometimes things work with "Run As Administrator" that won't work otherwise. I am profiled as computer administrator as a user, but in Windows messed up security crud that's not the same as "Run As Administrator."
When I clicked to "Run as Administrator" the black box opened, it showed four errors or some kind -----but then all of a sudden it showed the C: drive, and started "trimming" -- showing the percentage as the job completed. IT NEVER DID THAT BEFORE!!
LESSON LEARNED. If you're not getting the screen showing the trim running, try running as administrator.
After one trim, my performance went up from ~150 to over 200! Nuff said.
