The command for starting FlashFire is flashfire.exe on to turn it on or flashfire n (n is the drive letter which FlashFire should speed up here it is the SSD).

HK_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ffire\Enum

and verify the drive number of the SSD (Solid State Drive).

Also go to

HK_Local_Machine\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ffire\Parameters

and verify that drive number is the value of the Disknum key.

Using flashfire.exe off command line can shut down the program.
You can notice the speed improvement on your SSDs after its installation and a reboot.
