Send one to me and I'll break it in for you!!!!!

You bought 2 C300's in the 250 gig size and you're still running XP? Are you daft? LOL Even if TRIM won't work with RAID 0 you should still do it because the native garbage collection on those drives will probably be good enough. Man, that's some serious coin you spent there to just let them sit and do nothing. XP? Really? LOL

just bought two of those in 250gb flavor. Plan was raid 0 but the more I read the more I think not ready for prime time, at least with XP. two of these updated to latest FW and doing nothing with them at the moment. If I use because of the trim thing will not do raid.
still plan to play though .

Merry Xmas to all

Nice link and it would have saved me considerable headaches over the
years. LOL, now I don't need it probably because I'm done with Native IDE. Interestingly, my value data isn't 0 it's 4 I assume because I'm using a RAID 5 array. I just bought a Crucial RealSSD C300 from the Egg and I'm going to use it for my boot drive and a 640 gig Caviar Black for backup. I'll sell the 1 TB Seagate drives I'm currently using because the array just isn't that fast to me. I don't need a lot of drive space on this box and if I need more I'll just send stuff over to my media box for storage. 64 gigs should be more than enough for Vista and programs. I can't wait to
see how fast that puppy is on a SATA 6 gig connection..

Nah, not anymore. Just make a quick registry mod before you enable it.

Tom's is a PITA with ads popping up everytime you turn the page and if
you
enable AHCI you will probably have to reinstall Windows in my experience
anyway..

I agree. I did learn some stuff, though. I don't think I have AHCI
turned on in the bios!!!!

Tom's website has become very difficult to use, IMO.

Interesting, but unfortunately, only one drive was tested.
Optimizations vary wildly among all the controller manufacturers
(Samsung, Marvell, Intel, Indilinx, SandForce, etc), so I think the article is too limited in scope to really make generalizations about TRIM--other than that which we already know--TRIM support is good.

I thought this would be useful to those of us who use SSDs.
