TRIM and RAID 0

[lunarlyte]

is this issue a product of the chipset or the SSD controller? are there devices out there that allow TRIM in RAID 0?

It is dependant on the RAID controller.

 

All Intel chipsets since Z77 have supported TRIM on RAID.

cool thanks. so it would be a feature listed on the motherboard? correct?

If you are truly concerned with TRIM support here's some reading for you to get the know how:

I'll be sure and read that. I am asking because I am an AMD user and have not been able to find anything that says trim with raid 0 works on AMD platform.

Afaik amd hasn't worked out trim on raid0 just yet.

But then again, having no trim isn't all that bad. Yes, your write speeds will suffer. But this can be easily fixed with occasional secure erase.

thanks all for the info.

Where is that info from?

What info ?

 

Amd hasn't updated their chipsets for a while now. So you can look around and you'll see, that they still dont support it.

As far as lack of trim is concerned; secure erase always brings ssds to fresh state, so having no trim isn't all that big of an issue.
