Kingston released 5.0.3 to end users today. This is the TRIM fixing FW.
Just to make it a bit more official than just some dude posting this info on a forum. http://www.rwlabs.com/newsitem.php?id=6133 (http://www.rwlabs.com/newsitem.php?id=6133)

They are also supplying the update for their entry level sandforce drives, the SSDNow V+200

Will be interesting to see which makers hold out for 5.0.4 which is in validation afaik. Tho the Intel 520 trim works (using based on a totally reworked SF 3 series fw I think), it'll be interesting to see if they decide to update.

You know what though...I just found an issue with QD32 4K random reads on the 120GB capacity size. You'll have to wait a day for the review to go live.
Maybe that's the reason they started on 5.0.4 before 5.0.3 was even done testing...I'm thinking LSI won't slack up until it's right.
