Schnulla Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hi, I just installed Windows 7 Professional on a fresh Corsair P128 SSD. First of all... wooow the speed is amazing :) Shutdown takes 1 second, startup (after BIOS stuff is finished) takes 7 seconds. But back to topic: Crystal Disk Infos shows that the TRIM command is NOT supported? Please take a look at the attached screenshot. I thought Windows 7 supports the TRIM command, so why is it greyed out? :confused: Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthohol Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 please read through this thread for the answer. http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=80191&highlight=trim the official release isnt for a couple months yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnulla Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Thanks! I read the thread and I guess the important information was... "Samsung is working with Microsoft to ratify their version of firmware and Trim support" ..., right? I'm sorry, what exactly does that mean, is the TRIM command currently not supported in firmware VBM18C1Q or is Windows 7 currently not aware of the TRIM support in that firmware? First case would mean we should update the firmware in the near future :sigh!: Second case would mean we just have to wait for a Windows 7 update :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Userabc Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 First case would mean we should update the firmware in the near future :sigh!: Second case would mean we just have to wait for a Windows 7 update :biggrin: We are waiting on a Drive/Firmware update. Windows 7 supports TRIM fine, the Indilinx based drives already support/use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 24, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 24, 2009 We will post it here in the forum as soon as there is any updated information but at this time Trim in Beta version of Windows 7 is not supported. There should be some updates to this when Windows 7 is officially announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnulla Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Windows 7 Beta? I already got the final Windows 7 (RTM) from MSDN. I guess its available since some weeks now. But no problem, I'll be patient :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 25, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 25, 2009 Yes I have that version as well but there is no update and I do not expect one for sometime yet. Till at least October or November. There should be some updates to this when Windows 7 is officially announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paolo64 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 My Information.. Will Windows 7 support Trim? Yes. See the above section for details.

ChrisJohn Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 For the record I have the Extreme series disc - model CMFSSD-128D1. I am running this with Windows 7 RTM 64 bit and CrystalDiskInfo reports that the SSD is correctly recognised by Windows 7 and Trim is supported. I believe that this SSD has the Indilinx controller mentioned earlier in this thread by Userabc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted August 31, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted August 31, 2009 Yes you are correct Trim is supported with that drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker8 Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Any news on this? I have a brand new P128 drive and TRIM is greyed out in Cystalmark and PCWizard reports "No" next to TRIM mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It's still not supported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 9, 2009 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 9, 2009 I do not expect Microsoft's version of Trim to be fully supported till sometime next year. As I have stated Microsoft and all of the SSD Manufacturers are working on that so it will just take some more time to get it all worked out.
