Are you sure that all implementations of Windows & have TRIM support?
I'm not so sure anymore (I never ways but now I'm in serious doubt about
that claim).

Some of you may not get this notification from Intel.
It came in the last several minutes.
(I think we discussed it here very recently.)
"The new Intel® SSD Toolbox (version 1.2) and SSD
Toolbox Users Guide are now available for download at
<www.intel.com/go/ssdtoolbox>
We encourage you to take advantage of this free download
to monitor and tune the performance of your Intel® Solid State Drive."

You might want to read the white paper. I wrote this in a message the
other day:
"I was reading the white paper on Intel's SSD Optimizer. IN there it
says that if you're using Windows 7 and Microsoft AHCI storage driver,
then the OS will contain native support support to excute the ATA Data
set Management command on the Intel SSD and no user interaction is
required. However, if you're using Intel Matrix Storage manager with
Win7, then you do need the tools. Now, I never installed any Matrix
Storage manager...and I can't see evidence of it on the device manager. "
In my bios, SATA AHCI support is turned off, thought my SSD is working
now. So I assume Windows 7 must be using some other storage driver,
though I have yet to figure out which (anyone know how?). I'm going to
load up the SSD Toolbox and see what happens (gosh, I hope it doesnt
erase my disc again!).

One major issue with that review. They installed the Intel Matrix
Storage driver which will disable TRIM in Windows 7. Also the way he
was saying Intel has TRIM so it should be faster doesn't make sense,
it only makes the drive faster after the drive has been used (i.e. it
keeps the drive from slowing down over time)
