ray hines, The TRIM command does not pass through the USB bridging chipsets used in just about ALL USB caddies so there is no 3rd party software available that correctly TRIMs free space on USB attached SSD storage devices. Without specialised SSD firmware that recognises a zeros sector write as a TRIM command there is no way to do it. There have been rumors that some makers have such specialised firmware but I am not aware of which SSDs do this.

ship-of-fools, Good question. I just checked the webpage, and it says " Supports all common hard drives

Many hundreds of thousands of HDD and SSD hard drives are already supported. "

ship-of-fools, see this text:

ship-of-fools,

Did you look at the sample screenshots provided above? The first one clearly shows a KINGSTON SSD drive in it, so that should answer question...

For SSDs most manufacturers offer their own management/diagnostic software (i.e., Samsung Magician, Crucial Storage Executive, etc.) which do a good job providing options for their hardware. The only downside is that they're pretty arrogant and assume your computer only exists as a life-support system for them so they tend to automatically set things in Task Scheduler to check for update daily, etc. I just want to run it on demand so they're only installed in a virtual machine or sandbox not to pollute my main machine.

There has been a problem with e-mail on this site for the past 2 or so months and when reported they just blame the e-mail provider. I had used gmx for years without issue until recently when both the daily e-mail and download link e-mails stopped coming. I tried another gmx account, same thing. Tried my, very reliable, zoho account and still nothing. They blame the provider yet I've had no issues receiving any other e-mails using these providers. I try a disposable e-mail like 10minute mail and the download link comes in seconds! I can't explain it.

jboy, the emails look spammy to email providers that check during the connection and so they are dropped. Disposable email providers don't car so much about spam so the script generated spammy looking emails are accepted.

Thanks for your input TK but I just find it hard to believe that various e-mail providers all got together at the same time and said lets drop GOTD emails without marking them as spam and without telling the recipient. I have a specific address I use just for such e-mails and no other sender has been impacted. Oddly, I received the e-mail from here notifying me about your reply to my message so it does not seem they are blocking the domain.

When I first reported it here, the help person suggested I get a gmail account as they "have no problems with gmail" Well, A, I guard my privacy and don't use their search engine and I certainly don't want their email and, B, based on BigCol's post, there are now problems receiving them there too!

Additionally, based on the thumbs-up on my post, it would appear there are others this is happening to. I am left believeing the problem in on this site's end and not the fault of gmx or zoho, or gmail or whatever other site's users are having issues.

I'm not sweating it, I check both this and the game site daily and if there is something I want that needs a download link, I will use 10minutemail.

jboy, I use a yahoo.co.uk address for GAOTD it works most of the time.

Muflon, nothing save you (your druive) from Micro$ux Winblow$ update :-) :life bad choice:

Muflon, are you differently abled?

BobbyR, I am not differently abled besides those things which I talked about before. However, I'm not also going to use this program after accidentally burning my hard drive too, (even) if you feel being able to call it different ability
