With that being said,

Has anyone noticed slower transfer speeds? My 1.5TB black is only capable of reading 75MB/s now. Quite interesting. There's less stuttering, as well as boot times "may" be alittle bit faster.
Well crap, they did not mention that after the note, as they usually do. Normally they state "This new TRIM feature is only possible with the newer OROM version" Like they did with the UEFI note below it (then again this alpha is not enabling TRIM either, so maybe it will state that in the notes for next release). So I just assumed lol... So, I would now assume we will never see TRIM on this board because I doubt RIIIE will ever get a OROM 11.5 bios update. Yeah another reason to upgrade for sure. Quad channel, EFI Bios support, Built in BT, and now TRIM is coming for RAID0? They sure make it hard to skip generations these days...

Have not done any transfer tests, but I did notice all my SSD's are now performing benches much less than before, or so it seems. But, on a side note, everything seems to be very smooth and snappy.
