Optimization, cleaning and firmware update for SSD with Corsair toolbox - video tutorial

Hi friends, today you will be introduced to a collection of tools for cleaning and optimization of SSDs, it is about Corsair SSD Toolbox.
Corsair SSD toolbox helps us a lot to keep the health and performance of our time Corsair SSD.
It is known that an SSD after a certain period of use no longer behave so well if not the command Trim, Trim unfortunately only works on newer operating systems, from Windows 7 up. To avoid performance degradation over time due to lack of TRIM support, Corsair introduced the Trim option Toolbox programmed, this is a blessing for older operating systems running on the SSD. With Trim from the Trim Corsair Toolbox can program execution at certain intervals, so keep SSD performance at high rates even on Windows XP.
Another useful tool is the one that helps us to completely wipe SSD, this is useful if you want to sell SSD or simply to revive him after an intense use. Please note, using this method will permanently lose all data on the SSD and they will not be able to recover even with professional tools for recovery.
Another important feature of the SSD Toolbox is the firmware update. Updating the firmware on an SSD has never been easier, so simple that you can't believe it's all…
At this point I could not tell you if Corsair SSD Toolbox works with SSDs from other manufacturers but certainly all manufacturers Assn SSD drives have such utility, I do know that Intel has something similar.
Before presenting Corsair SSD Toolbox and I showed how to disable the Intel Smart Response Technology, that if we want to give up or want to get the full OS on SSD.
Download Corsair SSD Toolbox
Intel SSD Toolbox
OCZ Download Center (Select your model)
Kingston SSD Toolbox
For SSDs from other manufacturers, go to the support section of your drive and download utilities specific to each drive.

I know a "nene" who bought a high-performance PC, and the people at the store gave him an SSD. Obviously when this gentleman saw that the PC was working a little harder out of ignorance, he started to defragment it :)) ... woe and bitter about that ssd.

TRIM does not work on Windows 8, supposedly failed error trim. What do I do in this case?

Windows 8 should not give her trim manually automatically handles the operating system.

hello cristi, I also have an SSD (corsair forcegt 60 red) that yours works extremely well since October 2012 and until today I wrote only 525gb, the right ones I didn't "forge" it I tried to take care of it .. has only a few installations of 7 and 8. I think I'll take that tool to update the firmware because I have 5.02 but as far as I know or have heard it must be empty right? ok ms: D.

Hi, well Cristi, how is it better now? With the "cash" trick and SSD cloning, or should the system be left as you did now, that is, did you disable Intel Smart Response so that you can make TRIM and update and keep running so simple?
Not for anything else, but I'm waiting for an AsRock H77M card next week, just for the "bridge" trick between SSD and Hard! And I take it in vain? Or will I use IntelSmartResponse and disable it from time to time to TRIM the SSD?
Please answer me, when you can, how is it better!

Corsair SSD Toolbox firmware update is only for Corsair Force Series 3, Force Series GT, Force Series GS Series and Neutron Neutron GTX Series SSDs. For others, the message that there is a newer firmware.

I want to fit 60gb SSD for system, since a friend told me they do not recommend an SSD for the system, but to put a hdd. Please tell me your opinion.
