Excuse me, but of course Hard Disk Sentinel displays it correcty, it is not a bug or problem in Hard Disk Sentinel.

Please check http://www.hdsentinel.com/faq.php#trim (I believe TRIM is enabled (fsutil shows that), but Hard Disk Sentinel shows it is DISABLED. Why?) for details.
You'd likely need to update a driver in order to make TRIM *really* working.

If you prefer, please use Report -> Send test report to developer option so I can check the disk controller and may advise on the proper driver used.

Thank you for the quick response. Yes, I created the report / report as you type.
>"If you prefer, please use Report -> Send test report to developer option so I can check the disk controller and May advise on the proper driver used."<
The message was sent and stored. I can give again. Can I put here.

Once again thank you for the information.

Resolved. Problem was in the driver
You have the same HP EliteBook 8730 watts> Disk Controller: Intel (R) ICH9M-E / M SATA AHCI Controller (AHCI) [VEN: 8086 DEV: 2929] <apply the fixes proposed by the support center. I used the recommended driver 10.5 more footnotes
After completion of the steps, the TRIM function enabled and active. Before that, only enabled but not active.

Problem solved. Corporate support is perfect! Big thanks.

Yes, currently TRIM is not working. The current driver of the hard disk controller
(where the SSD is connected) is too old and does not yet support TRIM
and this would need an update.
So ALL other tools showing TRIM active is WRONG.

As you can see on the Information page,

Disk Controller . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller (AHCI) [VEN: 8086, DEV: 2929]


so we'd need to have an update for this controller.

I'd suggest to open www.hdsentinel.com -> Support -> Driver Zone page,
which is designed exactly for this purpose, to collect and provide the drivers
for various motherboards/controllers which will work correctly.

For this Intel chipset, I'd suggest to select driver 10.5
(directly: http://www.hdsentinel.com/driver/stor_a ... 026_pc.zip )
Or you may try 11.6
(directly: http://www.hdsentinel.com/driver/stor_w ... 030_pv.zip )
but I'd more recommend 10.5

After installation (and restart) the TRIM function should really work - and then
Hard Disk Sentinel will confirm that.
