Corsair x64, TRIM support in RAID?

Hey guys just wondering if any 1 knows if i can run 2 x64 in raid with trim support?

 

Iv bought my second x64 but it has firmware 2.1 and my other 1 has 1.0, both have to have same firmware?

 

PS: am a noob when it comes to this ssd stuff. So please keep it simple LOL.

 

Also what would be the best firmware to run with these drives?

 

Does this apply to my evga LE mb:

Any help would be great.

Hey you ;)

 

Since 2.1 doesn't support TRIM (and isnt available for public download) and the latest intel RST drivers can pass TRIM through RAID (these aren't the drivers for intel SSD's, it is for the ICHxR storage controllers on your mainboard) then the best combination is 2.0 firmware on each drive, erasing them using gparted and reinstalling win7 with the intel RST RAID/AHCI drivers slipstreamed into it (F6)

 

Your board uses ICH10R so this should work fine.

 

I should be able to help you out with this one.

 

You'll need:

 

hardware

- another computer

- a usb thumb drive

 

software

step 1 - Flashing

- BootMyISO

- download the right firmware for each drive

 

Step 2 - Secure Erasing

- Unetbootin (point this towards the Gparted ISO to create a bootable Gparted USB thumb drive)

- GParted

 

Step 3 - Installing windows (load RAID drivers at setup)

- STOR_all64_f6flpy_9.6.0.1014_PV.zip

 

Message me if you need info on how to use each of these things, although you'll find most of it laying around in the stickys !

Cools, so u do all this from another pc, just plug in the SSD into it.... Sorry n00b question.

2.1 IS 2.0, so flashing would do no good, not to mention I don't think the utility would flash it when it sees the version number.

 

No, you flash it from the PC it's already in. READ the update thread:
