Hi, i downloaded but not sure if i should install it. Read some basic info about it and most parts of that software i dont need or wont use.

But im pretty much noob as SSD goes,, this is my 1st and have it only for few days, so thats why im asking u guys for your wisdom and experiences

Commendable
You generally don't need it unless you're troubleshooting something wrong with the SSD. While you have it installed, you can check to see if there is a firmware update for it and use the software to install it for you (most likely none needed)

Ok so i installed it ran benchmark, looks like it works as it should 500+MB read/write.. Then set that OP for recommended 10% and turned off magician.. does it need to be running for that OP to work?

Thanks for replies and recommends, ill keep it on that 10% for now, dont want to change partition again and in that case OP is for i bought 500GB one just for OS and game i play which for now is only like 30% of drive and for file dumping i have HDDs of 2TB so as for now i think im ok on this part.. have a nice day
