    TRIM beta test...32BIT windows looks 100%, 64Bit windows now 90%+ OK.UPDATE 28-05-09 Wiper 0525 uploaded for test

    So i have approval for a public beta test, here are the facts you need to know.

    I tested this app on a Gigabyte X48-DQ6 and Vista 64, after TRIMMING the drive on reboot the OS was corrupt. I did this 4 times ...each time with a fresh install.


    Wiper has moved to over 90% safe for windows 64bit users along with totally safe for 32bit users, a new version has just been uploaded, give it a try let me know what you find here in this thread. Be cautious still, i have designated this new build still under beta test. There may still be no XP64 support, i do not have the OS here to test.

    Conditions of use:

    You must understand using this application carries risks, BE REALLY CAUTIOUS with Vista 64 or Windows 7 64. Hence if you download and try this software you except there is risk and agree that you may end up having to fresh install the OS there after.
    Its beta, and carries all the risks that beta software does. If you see any drive issues i suggest you reflash the drive to 1.10 and fall away from testing.

    The application ONLY works with FW1.10...1275 does not work. Its also single drive only...NO RAID

    Use this thread to talk about your findings, any issues and any further suggestions.

    MD5 checksum Wiper.exe : FE28C8FD68ACC03293546D242A57BD4C

    UPDATE 22-4-2009

    New version for test..wiper.exe 0422

    more info on corruption issue:
    The reason why user data got corrupted was some device drivers (eg. Intel Matrix Storage) sent only 28bit LBA address to SSD while Wiper sent 48bit LBA address. Complete solution is not implemented yet, but this version has some avoidance code... In other words, performance may not be restored, but user data will be more likely to be preserved.
    Again this is released for test as Beta Only...its the next build on from the previous release.


    May 28th UPDATE

    new Wiper 0525...again under beta test.


    Not sure on changelog although it has been built off 0422 so it should be a move in the right direction.

    Are there any specific instructions or limitations to use (RAID), Tony, or just extract it and run it from the windows desktop?

    Edit: Okay, I see "don't use in RAID" from another thread.

    its a click and run affair...it looks for vertex, finds it and TRIMS it. You will see it creates a HUGE file on the SSD when TRIMMING then deletes it when finished

    You don't mention XP64... have just put this on my drive, and tried the wiper.. get 'error message from system: The parameter is incorrect.'

    This is with and without nVidia southbridge drivers on my mobo.
    It hasn't broken anything though

    I have run it 3 times and rebooted after, fine every time...

    Good Job Tony......

    I will also give this a whirl after I get home and image my Vista 64 OS. I am using the AMD 700SB on Microsoft base drivers at the moment. I'll try it on that and then reload my base image, install the drivers from AMD/ATI for that SB and run it against that and see how it does.

    I'll post my findings here after.
    We're gonna need a bigger boat.

    I'm no expert beta tester! Would be good to have at least one second opinion on xp64.. different set-up possibly.

    well if it can't see the drive it won't harm anything...so it is of course worth trying.
