yeah, they dont want to be seen as a company who talks about problems behind closed doors so they are now very open and post openly in their forums and to review sites like anandtech in order to give us customers high quality drives and these vertex drives with the latest firmware are very good indeed and will be even better once this TRIM command support is out

New firmware is out in a few days and the application to add support in xp/vista will be out once they fix the vista64bit issues. Hopefully anandtech might re-review the drive with the new firmware, its a very tasty drive, just wish i had enough ££ for the 60GB Vertex. I'll wait on a 60GB Vertex2 Sata3 drive in a few months instead.

yep. I reckon Intel and Silicon Image will release updated bioses to support the TRIM command. Lets hope anandtech get those 2 companies to respond to that question.
