SSD questions

[Scootel2]

I just installed a Intel 520 series (120GB) hard drive on a Intel motherboard (SATA III AHCI). Do I need to install the Intel drivers and toolbox? This was a clean install of Windows 7 64-Bit. Thanks

Only if you are absolutely certain that you want your drive to remain fast.

I read that Windows 7 supports native trim. Can you please elaborate on your reply? Thanks

Either the MS driver or the Intel driver will work just fine, but most people go ahead and install the Intel driver and Intel toolbox. It isn't mandatory, but I would.
