Yeah my G1s still perform great. I have no complaints, and besides synthetics, I have not noticed any performance degradation. I've been using them since near launch and they've been (on several occasions) literally FULL down to the last MB. They're very solid drives, and I feel good about having them regardless of the G2 stuff.

They will easily last me until I can buy a big phat 1TB SSD that maxes out the SATA 6.0Gb/s interface. It's coming sooner than you might think....

Modified the title...well maybe no TRIM still, but at least performance has improved significantly!

..but keep on putting pressure on Intel by signing this petition to get official TRIM support for the Gen1 drives: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/intel-x25-m-g1-trim/

;)

Good idea :)
I posted this petition in the Intel SSD thread in the Storage section of the forum... bad news is only 19 signatures!! Come on people sign the petition!!

OCZ got something very wrong unless my samsung RBB drives magically supports drim on AMD sb750 RAID 0 :rofl:

the firmware might refresh performance but i bet that trim is disabled ;)

Ocz has nothing wrong. DiableDeleteNotify indicates if Win7 is sending Trim commands. Has nothing to do with the drive that is connected.

I thought the garbage collection would automagically keep performance near new condition?

Petitions are all but useless anyway. Now if it made a mention of handing over money in exchange for TRIM, you might get somewhere.

People like me didn't buy the G1 because of this. Intel has already lost their money from this decision, that won't change. Provided those people didn't buy a G2 (or G3 etc in the future).

Similarly, everybody could be arguing that they should un-firmware-cap the speeds too.

Ie: Just because they can doesn't mean its in their interests. Regardless of what you/I might think is a nice way to treat their customers.
