Storage Vendor w/ RAID TRIM Support Other Than Intel?

[techguy77]

Is anybody aware of a storage vendor that's working on RAID TRIM support other than Intel? Right now I'm running 6 Intel X25V drives in RAID 0 & fully benefit from the random 4KB reads & writes humming at 200 MB/s but I cry a little that my sequential reads are neutered to 600 MB/s when they could otherwise be 1200 MB/s.

Given what you'd said TinyTom I sought out where Intel's help file advertised TRIM support in RAID volumes. To my chagrin I found this...

www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-031491.htm

"A defect was filed to correct the information in the Help file that states that TRIM is supported on RAID volumes"

Thanks TinyTom for being the catalyst of my discovery! I'm now uber cynical about TRIM support for RAID volumes and will only buy Vertex2 drives that have Garbage Collection going forward. I'll just purpose these Intel SSDs as single boot drives in other units in the coming year
