Software Update: Intel SSD Toolbox 3.5.14

Intel has released version 3.5.14 of its Solid State Drive Toolbox. With this program it is possible to manage an SSD from Intel. For example, it can provide information about the characteristics of the drive, some diagnostic tests can be run on the SSD and the performance can be optimized. In addition, it is possible to update the firmware. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:
