Just wondering if I should go and download the latest drivers from Intel for my Intel 80 Gig SSD drive, or if I'd have better stability/trim functionality by staying with Microsoft's default drivers. This is on Windows 7 - 64bit.

Also, should I have S.M.A.R.T. monitoring on or off in the BIOS for this drive?

Thanks! :)

Just stay with the MS driver, no need to install others. You can try if you like once you are sure that the drive is working properly but I haven't bothered installing chipset driver, I still use the MS one.
