"No SSD is 100% Windows 7 compatible with the trim command as of yet, we will be seeing ssd's soonish with the Windows 7 logo on the packaging. These will be the drives to get
"
With firmware updates they will get there though. But for a drive to display the Windows 7 logo on its packaging it has to meet certain criteria, bugger if i can remember what it was though lol
Canna remember where i saw this info though
Quick google came up with this. Similar article to what i was reading.

"In Windows 7, Microsoft promises a substantial increase in read and write speed of SSDs. First and foremost, Windows 7 will partition the SSDs more efficiently to lessen the redundant read-write cycles. Also, when Windows 7 detects an SSD, it will automatically disable defragmentation, since defragmenting can reduce the lifespan of Solid State Drives. Read times are usually boosted when drives are defragmented, but since flash memory already has a high read rate and slow write rate, defragment is unideal for SSDs.
Secondly, Windows 7 will also come with a feature called �trim� which will cut down on the amount of data to be deleted, increasing the SSD’s lifespan and allowing it to delete garbage data in advance. It also uses ATA commands to increase the SSD write speeds.
And thirdly, Microsoft is planning to start a certification program for SSDs. This will probably be an extension of their Windows 7 Capable sticker program. In order to win “the logo of approval,” SSDs must give priority to reading data rather than slow writes and use a native SATA interface.
Finally, Microsoft plans to create a certification program for SSDs. To win the software maker’s logo of approval, SSDs must identify themselves to Windows 7 properly, prioritize data reads over slower data writes, comply with the Serial ATA (SATA) drive interface for faster connections and more, Shu said"
