Are you enabling TRIM in fstab? for your windows partition?

I'm planning a small partition for windows.

Im wondering because I think TRIM on MS is not yet available over the *SCSI/SAS* controller, i.e. TRIM is supported but only in ATA.

Or have I got my facts wrong.

I'm contemplating grabbing a PCI-e SSD (i.e. RevoDrive) [RAID-0] which operates on a SCSI controller. From what I can see TRIM will operate on the UUID or device or what I mean to say at the partition level?
 
Nevermind!

I was hoping to get the OCZ revodrive but their Linux drivers seem to be lacking. i.e. only works o n RHEL/Centos
 
TRIM should work on SAS, it just needs to be set to AHCI (FWIR). And then just set the "discard" flag on all ext3/ext4 partitions on that drive in /etc/fstab. Works a charm.
