INTEL SOLID STATE DRIVE TOOLBOX

To get the most out of the 335 series i strongly recommend grabbing the latest version of the Intel Solid State Drive Toolbox from their support page.

As you can see our drive came with firmware 335s and a 90% estimate life remaining which had me puzzled for a moment.

So the first thing to do was head over to the firmware update section to check, download and install the latest available version. After installing the 335t version the estimate life remaining bar went to 100% as it should.

From the Intel Solid State Drive Toolbox you can also use the System Tuner to tune various Windows Services and the Intel SSD Optimizer which basically optimizes the drives TRIM function and should be run at least once a week.
