    SSD Question: TRIM and AHCI for this Gigabyte motherboard


    I'm using a GA-M750SLI-DS4 with a NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI Chipset along with Crucial M4 128 GB SSD.

    When I check if TRIM is enabled I get a 0 (which means yes). But I've read that nForce chipsets don't have TRIM support?!? is this true?

    from (bare foot kid):
    AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista

    "Just to put in here for nForce users, nForce boards do not support AHCI (with the exception of nForce boards that include onboard graphic cards), and also don't send the TRIM command for SSDs.


    Also, they don't hav AHCI support, right? Is there a way around this?


    Thanks

    As far as I am aware, the nForce controllers don't send the trim command, but if you use the Microsoft controllers, they will send the trim command.

I noticed a post here that showed how to check trim status so I tried it but the results are not clear to me. I run an 80Gb Intel X25M SSD along with multiple other conventional sata HDs. Can someone interpret my results? http://i.imgur.com/h9gVp.png
I have been reading for days and don't understand this. When I get a system built using all SATA drives...is the best setting in the bios AHCI? I know the RAID setting requires drivers and IDE does not but how about AHCI? Should I even use this setting? Does it require drivers or does W7 have...
I had bought an Intel SSD drive to put in my laptop (which I did) when I upgraded to W7. However, it's an "S1" model, so it will not do TRIM (only the S2 Intel models do or will) I keep reading about how this drive will eventually strangle itself when it gets to a certain use level of...
