how to check if TRIM is enabled on my SSD drive

I have a Dell PC with a samsung SSD. I am running windows 7 pro 64 bit. I've set the "fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0", and restarted, but how do I know if it's actually working?
Any thoughts?

My expert:The article you sent me is telling me the same thing about the disabledeletenotify option, so that's not helping. I even downloaded the program "crystal disk info", but that didn't say anything about the HD.

Teargas: so you're saying just put some large files on the drive to fill it up, and then how do I benchmark it?
How do you know that by benchmarking it both times, how is that going to prove that the TRIM function is working? What if adding tons of garbage on my HD will slow it down, even after I delete the data?

1. afacts you can run the command in cmd as i descriped and you will see the result

2. benchmark you can use HD Tune and / or AS SSD

just do some benchmark and you can safe the results or make a screenshot, and i think you'll see the difference if their is some difference.
