Kingston 40GB V Series Boot Drive SSD (Intel G2)

Just done mine, sorted. :p

Just for info - followed the link and with a little jiggy jiggy I also managed to get my Kingston 40Gb to accept it was really an Intel, and use the Intel Toolbox.

I think I'm just going to stop using my Kingstons in RAID-0 until they do enable TRIM support for RAID, it seems that most folks are getting on just fine using them as single drives anyway, and I really want to have TRIM enabled..
 
I just did this on mine but CrystallDiskInfo says Trim isn't supported, cmd prompt seems to say it is?

The command prompt only confirms TRIM is enabled in windows. Have you tried to reflash it just to make sure you didn't do something wrong perhaps?

Unfortunately they're all gone -- the only reasonably priced UK supplier had 35 left on Saturday but 0 left on Sunday when I went to order a couple, and no prospect of any more since Kingston have discontinued it :-(

Looks the Intel is the only choice now for a fast boot/program drive (random read is most important, so Intel controller is still ahead of everything else)

I'm going to try it again later on, something must have gone wrong.
 
Tried mine with CrystalDiskInfo, and the TRIM function does show as enabled. I've appended an explanation of the steps I needed on the site linked above, in case that helps.

Many thanks pal, that worked :)

Hi y'all,

I bought a pair of these before christmas when there was no (fudged) TRIM support and definitely no RAID TRIM support - they are running in RAID 0.

As I understand it, I can now enable trim in the firmware, and RAID 'em, *and* TRIM said RAID using these intel drivers on my gigabyte p55 mobo.

Thing is, it seems a little counter-intuitive to me that there is a bios update to make this happen. If I were to start completely from scratch, there would be a period of time between creating the array and being able to install the new raid drivers where TRIM wasn't being applied. I'm a little confused by the whole affair. Can anyone shed any light?

You can't trim the drives in RAID, the new driver just lets you use TRIM on single SSD's if the storage controller on your motherboard is in RAID mode. i.e if you had a couple of mechanical drives in RAID1 and a single SSD boot drive, you could now trim the boot drive.
