Every drive supports TRIM on various levels the best support for it though is the automatic Windows 7 native commands...meaning Windows 7 does it every time it deletes something. However most drives require a separate utility to be ran by the user from time to time to wipe these sectors. I assume in time nearly all SSDs will get firmware updates to support TRIM.
What ever drive you buy it more then likely requires a firmware update. To make this the ultimate in pains in the ass, most of these format the drive and they also can't be a drive with the Operating System installed on it. So the best bet is to make sure you use another computer and update the firmware before you start installing things.
My biggest issue here is that I doubt that this is the last firmware update they are going to release. Should I plan to reformat every few months? That's what its starting to feel like. I would suggest most people give this technology another year to bake. Amazingly fast but I'm thinking its not fast enough to be worth the headaches.
