TrimGUI : Trim SSD drives.

[PoBoy]

This is a GUI for the Windows TRIM command ( defrag drive: /L ).
WIndows normally does this once a week.
AutoIt script. Source provided.

You expect people to run random binaries downloaded from internet?

The default built-in defrag utility in windows does the same thing with SSDs.
It shows "Optimize" button and it runs TRIM command on SSDs.

You can upload the source to Github and link it here. People, who see a need of it, will download and use and those who do not need it can ignore it just as happily. In this specific use case, I believe SSD TRIM is automatically handled by Windows so we do not need to worry about it at all.

I know Windows does it at a schedule you set.

Sometimes you need to do it manually. My program makes it easier, that's all.

Edit : Github is too much work ;-)

You just have to make it clear whether you're advertising this app or showcasing your project. If it's the latter, then no need to delete the source. We all know the joy of building a real working application on your own, no matter how small. And we all also want to share this achievement with others.

Github is too much work

Would really recommend learning Git and using Github if you're into any kind of coding.

Afaik, Windows does this by default, and you can enable it on Linux. What's the purpose of this utility?

as mentioned earlier sometimes one wants to do it manually.
also using the command line displays some useful info.

Again, not criticizing but this is done by the defrag utility in windows. I don't see the point of reinventing the wheel other than to probably learn.

e.g. you could run TRIM on all the SSD drives with one click.

and i should have mentioned that i boot from memory. so every time i boot i get a 'fresh' windows installation.
so i cannot schedule stuff like defrag/trim - i actually have it set to "off".

another reason i boot from memory, this is with ddr3 btw. drive c:

Doesn't Windows take care of TRIM automatically and invokes it as and when needed without any schedule ?

 

[PoBoy]

i don't know. i would like to be the one who decides LOL

That is the write speed of your RAM and not SSD. This volatile cache is dangerous on systems with no power backup.

i know that.
i, luckily, live in mumbai - very few power outages.
and i never leave my system on overnight.

Fair enough, but I suppose some additional context provided upfront would be helpful in case you're posting apps with niche use cases

Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter C -Verbose

You're just using above powershell command.
