Intel brings back TRIM support on X25-M G2 SSDs

    Intel brings back TRIM support on X25-M G2 SSDs


    Posted: 03 Dec 2009
    It took them a bit longer than expected but Intel has finally issued a fix for that pesky bricking problem affecting their second generation solid-state drives. As previously reported, an October firmware
    update (revision 02HA) was supposed to improve performance
    by taking advantage of Windows 7's TRIM functionality, but instead left many 34nm X25-M owners with disk read errorsand an otherwise inoperable drive.
    more..

    It wasn't supposed to include performance improvements on the 80. The only version that got the sequential write boost was the 160GB drive.

    Aside from the above comment..which is a non-issue...what other problems might you be referring to?
