I am running the SSD Toolbox V1.2.000 and when I run the optimizer it completes immediately. I remember having this problem about 1-2 months ago when the toolbox/firmware were released and I solved it but don't remember how. I have to turn of AHCI to get it to run, which I do, but still having it complete in a split second, that's not right, right? So anyway...

AMD PII x3 720 BE
Gigabyte MA-770-UD3
6GB DDR2-800
PSU, ODD, Storage HDD, GPU etc....
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
and I am using the AMD SATA Controller with the latest firmware for the x25-m g2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
tried again, and did briefly see 7% before it completed, but I was under the assumption that the optimizer fills the entire drive with data up to 10MB free, and I currently have 40Gb free. I assume that takes longer than 2 seconds. Anyway here's the screenshot

Okay: solved. Microsoft Office 2010 Beta was the culprit. Uninstalled, and it ran perfectly.

It only takes like 2-3 seconds to run on my system. I think the very first time I ran it, it might have taken like 5-6 seconds. But in generall its always fast.

Maybe it has to do with how much garbage is on your system ie: how many erased blocks are on the drive that need to be reset to empty (TRIMMED).

And when you uninstalled Office 2010 that erased a lot of blocks on the drive so there was a lot of "trimming" work, so when you ran it again it had to clear all of those blocks and it took a little longer. I'm sure if you run it again right now, it will run really quickly (ie: like 2-3 seconds max)
 
Yeah, the above poster is probably right... AFAIK you shouldn't even be needing to run the Optimizer regularly if your mobo's controller supports TRIM anyway. It's just running a manual TRIM cleanup which the OS should be doing on it's own...
 
If you want fully automatic OS TRIM support, un-install AMD's SATA drivers. This feature only work when you're using Microsoft's built in AHCI drivers. For running a single SSD, there's no reason to use the motherboard's AHCI driver. As for the tool running very quickly, that's nothing to worry about. Using the Wiper program on my Torqx would complete in about 3 seconds, and since both programs accomplish the same thing, it's nothing to fret about.

Edit, you'll know when you'll have the ability for automatic TRIM support when your Device Manager reads like this:
 
There's a registry tweak that supposedly allows you to enable AHCI on a working IDE install w/o re-installing tho I've never tried it myself, but there's a lot of reports of success stories w/it, dunno if you tried it out and it still didn't work despite it or what...
