Windows 7 does support TRIM...

...plus the Vertex drives will support it shortly also.

My SSD testing is progressing well. There are a couple of items worth reporting on.

1) Windows 7 does currently support TRIM.
2) No SSDs currently enable TRIM support under Windows 7.

OCZ is expected to have TRIM support on its Vertex drives shortly, potentially within the next month from what I've read on their forums. Samsung's latest drive will have TRIM support once Microsoft has released Windows 7; I'm guessing that means September/October.

Intel is remaining curiously quiet on the TRIM issue. I would like to see the existing X25-M drives retrofitted with TRIM as I think that would be a tremendous goodwill gesture on Intel's part; I get that the X25-M is already the fastest thing on the market, but that's no reason to avoid thanking your customers for their support in my mind.

Oh and also it says the 120Gb Vertex drives are quicker than the 30/60Gb models. I think I'll wait for those to drop below £300 and then pick one up

Stoned have a look at the G.Skill Falcon, the same drive as the Vertex and the 128Gb is already under £300.

Interesting. Does this also have the same support firmware wise? I wouldn't spend out before knowing they have a firmware out that supports TRIM in SATA command.
