Raid0 and TRIM Support on Intel 11.5 OROM and Latest v11.5.0.1184 RST Drivers ?

Thanks BG, I was afraid you'd say that, lol. Really wanted to skip this intel gen and refresh come Haswell. I still may.

Intel SSD Tool's manual TRIM works on raid0 with latest OROM and drivers on my Asus Sabertooth P67, and do indeed have an positive effect. The sad part is that it's Intel SSD's only, like with singelSSD, and likely a slim comfort for those with other SSD brands. No Z77 for me I decided long ago, but this helps in low willpower moments, when explosive sales drops into my inbox.. :P

That's some very interesting news indeed. Hopefully someone will bench it out and post it up.

The 11.6 OROM/drivers scored 8.5k in Anvil bench before manual TRIM, and 9.2k after. The positive thing is it maintains 9.2k every run after an manual TRIM, while unTRIMMED drops a little for each run done, naturally..

The 11.6 iaStorA/F SCSI and all others of it's kind, are a little slower then the 11.2 iaStor drivers. So for optimal benches one might revert to 11.2 after using 11.6 for TRIMMING, allthough removing the pesky leftovers from SCSI Intels, are a drag at best of times.. It scores 9.7k after reverting from 11.6 and manual TRIM vs. 9.2k with 11.6 and for daily use one would just leave the 11.6 installed as one would never notice the difference.

I might soon SE the drives back to prestine performance, as I now probably can maintain that performance better.
