We finally get the update that passes the TRIM command for RAID 0 array. Definately want this driver if you are running SSD in RAID0 :thumbup:

I have this motherboard (ASUS P8P67):

Would I have TRIM using this driver with RAID 0 with this chipset?

Yes as long as you used the intel ports (blue or gray, not the navy blue ones those are your marvell controller)

What brings you to this conclusion? I'm just curious, because a week ago I contacted Intel support asking about "SSD & RAID" and got different answer...

Intel release notes?

 

Trim (Microsoft Windows 7* only)

This feature provides support for all pass-through solid-state drives (SSDs) in your storage system that meets the ATA-8 protocol requirements. Also, support is provided for SSDs that are part of a RAID 0 array. This feature optimizes write operations, helps reduce device wear, and maintains unused storage area on devices as large as possible.

Is there a difference in day to day apps from a single to raid setups? All tests I've seen seem to indicate RAID arrays only worth for high queue depth or large file sequential operations. They usually hit same scores when dealing with small files and queue depth of 1 which is what you do most of the times in windows.

On my older PC build there's definitely a boost from Raid0 but these drives topped out at about 1/2 transfer rate of my new drive so it was very evident in program loading/windows boot time/etc. With newer drives they are so fast that after a certain point you can't really tell any difference (at least from a gamers perspective) You still get great benchmarks but that's about it.
