People who actually have the drive do in fact complain about it, but you wouldn't know. ;) If you happen to be on older firmware (first or second release), your issue is twofold. As you mentioned, you must upgrade with the jumper (eng. mode) as an intermediary step before you can upgrade to...

Thanks! I swear I've posted more. Perhaps Anandtech performs some type of purging of posts. :) Anyway, you make a valid point. Native TRIM should be supported when Win7 is released. However, whether or not the current "new" SSD's will support Win7 TRIM is a question that remains. From...

Indilinx is the manufacturer of the controller that's used in some of the newer SSD's by OCZ, Super Talent, etc. Therefore, firmware and utilities (TRIM tool) are provided by them. The latest version of firmware doesn't wipe your drive of data. However, it must be applied in DOS mode which...
