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.

Would be a real kicker if they say new firmware for TRIM is not possible, but we have a new SSD with TRIM built in.

if that happened, it would be a kicker if lawyers were involved due to false advertising! Anyways, let's hope they deliver sooner rather than later. If indilinx (whatever its spelling) can do it the day before win7 launch, why can't intel? Especially when there are articles dated early October that mentions firmware 02HA.

Has Intel said there would be TRIM firmware? I haven't read itmyself, have you? I know Anand said it, but has Intel actually stated that?

"Drop-in compatible with SATA-based HDDs and all operating systems, the X25-M will also support Microsoft Windows 7 when it becomes available. At that time, Intel plans to deliver a firmware update to allow support of the Windows 7 Trim command, along with an end user tool, to allow users to optimize the performance of their SSD on Windows XP and Vista operating systems."

Well, Windows 7 is available so where is TRIM? And, I read that even with TRIM, there will be some degradation of performance over time, not as bad as now, but some performance loss will occur. The way to restore performance to like new condition will be imaging the drive to another and wiping the original drive clean allowing the procedure to be reversed when needed.
There will at some point in the future be a newly designed SSD that will hold its "new performance" better than what is available now even with TRIM.
