Note: The Intel SSD Toolbox will reach End of Maintenance with no additional updates after September 2020. Intel recommends that users migrate to the Intel Memory and Storage Tool (GUI) as a replacement for Intel SSD management and firmware updates.

The Intel Solid-State Drive Toolbox (Intel SSD Toolbox) is drive management software that allows you to:

  • View current drive information for Intel Solid-State Drives (Intel SSDs), including:
    • Model number, capacity, and firmware version
    • Drive health
    • Estimated drive life remaining
    • SMART attributes (also available for hard disk drives and non-Intel SSDs)
    • IDENTIFY DEVICE information (also available for hard disk drives and non-Intel SSDs)
  • Optimize the performance of an Intel SSD using Trim functionality
  • Optimize the performance of an Intel SSD in RAID 0 using Trim functionality Intel® Rapid Storage Technology (Intel® RST) 11.0 or greater. Note: Trim on RAID 0 is not supported on Windows 8* or Windows Server 2012
  • Obtain proactive notifications of new Intel SSD Toolbox software versions for Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems
  • Update the firmware on a supported Intel SSD
  • Run quick and full diagnostic scans to test the read and write functionality of an Intel SSD
  • Check and tune your system settings for optimal Intel SSD performance, power efficiency, and endurance
  • View your system information and hardware configuration, such as central processing unit (CPU), chipset, controller name, and driver versions
  • Run Secure Erase on a secondary Intel SSD
