Please check whether your ssd works with discard or whether your ssd
firmware has the ability to do so.
I used an SSDSA2M160(I guess you are using the same type as me except
the volume size is 80g, but you have to find it out from intel side) and
after I upgraded my firmware to the new version(you can download it from
intel site), it supports discard now.

Tao
