After reading for a while I don't see this question being answered clearly. I have one of the black X25-M drives and with today's annocement of the silver ones (with a different controller) it mentions that they will support a TRIM update when Windows 7 comes out.
Was curious as I'd rather pay a restocking fee and shipping to send my curent x25 back to the seller and pick up a siler x25 when they are out.

be it 10% or 30%, the difference may not be significant, X25-M is able to sustain at 70MB/s even if the drive is fully used up right? Look at how many X25-M drives can you buy for every X25-E.....Unless you have limited storage bay.....
Why do you need such an heavy write?

Hi Tingshen,
no i do not need fast writing drives, but we all want the best and the fastest available and buy them, right?
Otherwise one could go for Trans... drives, slow but costing almost nothing.
This is just an example, no bashing of another product.
Anyway, let's face it, MLC drives will not live that long. But you got me thinking......

huh? what do you mean by "will not live that long"? How long is long to you?
the future of server SSD will all based on MLC....with the performance & life expectancy of current SLC

Well i think that the 80 gb will be able to write some 56 TB.
But i am sure someone of Intel here, can point us in the right direction.

Will Intel's Trim support more than just NTFS partitions? I read elsewhere competitors Trim implementations are windows only.
