Solid-State Drives (SSD)

 Apparently no raid support at all including wiper, doesn't recognize my array at least. Yes I read the release notes but **bleep** you need to be an ssd engineer to understand most of it. As usual the mod post "New Firmware released, complete details inside" is MIA.

Trim is supported in 1819 under single drives and raid.  It's just the raid controller drivers that don't support trim - certainly Intels don't yet, I dunno if anyone else has sorted there's yet.

You're correct about wiper though - it does not support raid but aside from it's release date it is unrelated to 1819 - it works on the older firmwares too (at least for single drive users)

I must admit I am finding it a real pain. I have a Vertex and a M225 in raid which works fine, but the Vertex has the OCZ 1.41 firmware which has built in GC, but the Crucial firmware does not have GC. This means I am splitting the raid 0 setup weekly to run trim on just the Crucial drive as the performance drops off sharply by then. I just hope either Crucial come up with a similar firmware as OCZ 1.41, or I will sell the Crucial and buy another Vertex, as there is no sign of drivers that will pass through raid with trim!

With so many people with raid I would have thought a utility would have been out by now to at least be able to trim a raid setup manualy. The trouble is once you have had a fast speed which the Vertex/M225 is when "clean", you want to keep it that way.
