Hi everyone!
I have a Optiplex 390 SSF with Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 (advanced format 512e) hard drive.
I re installed windows 7 x64 Professional and also updated all drivers from dell support page.
Include with Microsoft KB 982018 and the latest Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 Firmware. As you can see on photo I have checked my drive with Paragon Aligment Tool but It does not work properly like previous OS. It just looks like a "normal" HDD without AF support.
I have followed this tutorial step by step but I am not sure about some points.

Should I install Intel RST Storage driver 9.6? I tried but It just says not compatible.
How can I check that the OS using properly my hard drive? Because performance issues.
Do I need to install everything else?
Thanks in advance!
Roland
