I remember reading AT article that only Microsoft drivers (Windows 7) supported TRIM. Has that changed now, does the Intel Rapid Storage Drivers support TRIM as well?

MS doesn't make 99% of Windows' drivers, they just include drivers provided by OEMs.

MS AHCI drivers are the only ones that pass TRIM for now. Reports of Intel releasing Rapid Storage drivers soon with TRIM support but I've been reading that for nearly 2 months and still nothing. Intel rep stated "soon" multiple times.

I wonder if that means that the Intel driver will pass the TRIM command in RAID mode? IIRC, the AHCI and RAID driver are actually the same driver. Has anyone heard any official verification of TRIM + RAID support?
