The title pretty much says it all. As reported by Anand....

The requirements for RAID-0 TRIM support are as follows:

A 7-series motherboard (6-series chipsets are unfortunately not supported).
Intel's Rapid Storage Technology (RST) for RAID driver version 11.0 or greater (11.2 is the current release)
Windows 7 (Windows 8 support is forthcoming)

The lack of support for 6-series chipsets sounds a lot like a forced feature upgrade. Internally Intel likely justifies it by not wanting to validate on older hardware, but I don't see a reason why TRIM on RAID-0 wouldn't work on 6-series chipsets.

And is 'fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify' THE definitive way to check?

No, that just tells you if the OS is set to send the TRIM command, doesn't matter if the command never makes it to the SSD that's why Anandtech dirtied the drive then tested performance to confirm if TRIM was passed or not.
