But why should you have to? Intel's too lazy and cheap to do the right thing and support the users of their older products, even when one of those older products is their "high end" tier and has been around for much less than one year . It shows the complete lack of interest that Intel has in keeping customers happy at this point. They've attached support for RAID 0 TRIM only to their newest product as a way to force people to upgrade. It shows exactly how much Intel stands behind its products...after they have your money, they don't care. I'm very surprised they haven't cut their warranty on retail CPUs down hard yet (although I'm sure that's coming)
