Intel SSD Data Center is a drive management tool for Intel SSD products, to update the firmware, get drive information, resize storage capacity, and more.

Intel SSD Data Center comes in a ZIP file with 32-Bit and 64-Bit executables, as well as an installation guide, release notes, and a user guide.

For some reason, this is a command-line app. You'll need to run an elevated command-prompt. The fastest way is to press the Windows+S keys and type in cmd. Now, right-click on Command Prompt when it appears and then select Run as administrator. Now, change directories to the installed location, which is C:\isdct and run isdct with the required switches. You're going to want to refer to the user guide here for the many available switches.

For those who need this app and aren't familiar with the command-prompt, once you have the command prompt open, type in cd\ and that will take you to the root of your C drive. Now, type in cd\isdct, and you will be in the proper folder once you find the switch, y type in "isdct show -intelssd" to get your drive information.

Intel SSD Data Center is a necessary evil for geeks using Intel SSD drives. We have no idea why there's no GUI, but it's a reason to keep us from buying an Intel SSD when everyone else does have a GUI with their management apps.
