The TRIM thread

[idata]

There's already a discussion on TRIM ( http://communities.intel.com/thread/5059?tstart=0 ), but the "Will the 34nm 25X-M drives be the only ones that will be able to be flashed for TRIM support?" question is not really the point of this thread.

Microsoft Windows 7 with TRIM support is already out there for MSDN subscribers like me (there's also a public Windows 7 RC), Linux kernel does support TRIM from version 2.6.28 and many users are waiting for TRIM support in order to buy an Intel SSD (G2).

So... what's the plan for a TRIM-capable firmware? Is there an ETA?

Thank you.

Actually is TRIM only important to single drive environment?

My experience with Adaptec 5805Z and 8pcs of X25-M is great.....so great such that I can't believe I saw 3GB/s...not 3Gb/s during the peak, perhaps related to the cache. They are running averagely close to 2GB/s easily during heavy load with virtual machines, at RAID 0.

RAID 5 or 6 doesn't degrades the performance much though......

Windows 7 is out so where is TRIM for SSD?

I'd like to know where it is as well.

I hope it will be released soon... but I don't know why, I've a definite feeling that it will never be released

I hope this new firmware is worth the wait. I want performance, I want features, I want it now. C'mon Intel!
