Any partition alignment tool other than Paragon's?

I used Paragon Alignment Tool to align the boot partition on my SSD but it keeps telling me the partition is not aligned after completing the task. There are no errors.

Are there other similar tools?

I would love to read a tech write-up of whether this software does what it says it does... I don't believe it provides any benefit, especially on a Boot SSD.

On my older SSD, it made a difference in speed before and after alignment. tech write-ups are available on their site. Are they biased... Iam not sure.

Companies like Dell, Toshiba provide alignment tools based on Paragon's tool with their hardware. I hardly believe they supply software if they don't know what benefit they offer.

why do you need a special tool? Windows 7 automatically aligns the partition during installation.

It's not a new installation. I don't want to reinstall Windows, tens of apps and tens of undocumented by me system tweeks.

The misalignment happened after doing a True Image restore on a new drive. I was able to get proper alignment after upgrading to True Image 2012.
