[Powerfull]

yes with IDE mode and unmodded V18 bias trim appears to be working with my new Vertex2. Performance sufferes a little with IDE but this MB is stable as a rock and I'm keeping her I hope at least another 2 years. The SSD is a decent upgrade.

Glen,

I never tried the IDE mode with SSDs but with this board in raid mode (even with 1 SSD, no raid array) the speed is max out Write:270MB/s Read:280MB/s with Atto or Cristall Disk Mark.
I suggest that you try AHCI or RAID mode. The best option is RAID mode even with a sigle drive because you can use intel RST drivers and it is as good as AHCI performance and you can build a RAID array in the future.
To turn in raid mode you do not need to reinstall the OS, there is a registry trick (win 7) and then you switch to raid mode in the bios and the OS boot fine.

If your SSD speed is not max out it is not due to the board but to the settings, have a try with the Raid mode (even for sigle drive).

Good luck.
