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.

In brief....
The G1 will never support TRIM.
For TRIM support for array members has nothing to do with the SSD's firmware. It is the RAID controller that must be updated. A TRIM-supported SSD can take the command while in RAID. It is the fact that the controller cannot pass the command through to the individual member disks.

Is that the official position of the SSD Firmware Engineering team?
Given that I experience the same abysmal performance as Labyrintho, and am weary to perform the old backup-reformat-restore routine on my system every 2-3 months, it would be nice at least to give an official statement (so that us suckers who are still using their G1 can move on).

I'd like to know also, having a G1 disk myself...

Hi; after reading most of these posts, I have little to add, other than I hope that if we all come together, Intel will see the error of their ways.
Feel free to post this URL to any forum you see discussing Intel SSDs (and CPUs for that matter, if it's on topic) as we need to rally G1 owners to ensure Intel does that "what were we THINKING not supporting our early adoptors!?!?!" head-slap that they oh, so, badly need.

I'm still running VIsta but you don't see me bashing Microsoft for not coming out with a service pack for Vista to include trim commands. How is this any different than Intel not supporting trim on G1 drives?? Every new generation of tech products whether hardware or software is going ot include new features that prior generations did not.
