Intel SSD now brings TRIM support


Recommended Posts

Holy crap I am so glad I didn't touch mine. I almost did it yesterday. :blink:

There's still a chance it would've worked fine. But then again, there's plenty of people in that situation right now, where they have upgraded fine, but are now wondering if their SSD is a ticking time bomb waiting to brick :o

resonable price , very good

They gave me a wicked deal on an i7 860 with a new DG55WB series mobo as well - $200. I couldn't resist. With that SSD and a cheap case with psu, i'm looking at a $400 KILLER pc. Of course, I'll have to take a video card out of my old PC, but that's nothing. Hopefully by the release date or even a month after, kingston in conjunction with intel will be releasing the TRIM support that is promised.... bug free.

We have been contacted by users with SSD issues after using the firmware upgrade tool (version 1.3) in a Windows 7* 64 bit environment. Intel has replicated the issue on 34nm SSDs (X25-M) and is working on a fix. If users have downloaded 02HA firmware and not upgraded, Intel recommends they do not upgrade until further notice. Intel is pursuing the resolution of this as a high priority. No related issues have been reported by users who have successfully upgraded to 02HA firmware via the firmware upgrade tool (version 1.3).

No fix yet, but at least they have replicated the problem.

I want to get into SSD. As a consumer, please advise me on what a low-risk solution would be. Don't worry about price, I want what IS satisfactory without having to read reviews on 5 different sites that say different things. :D

Yeah I saw that today in BPN. I finally went for the G2 aswell, once it came back in stock in the UK. Unfortunately I can't update yet as my motherboard died and I'm waiting on the replacement. I'm still on the firmware before the bricked version.

From reading the Intel Community forums though, it seems this update has went off without a hitch.

Yeah but can't you use the SSD Toolbox to send TRIM commands to the drive? You can run that instead of de-fragmenting like you have to do on a normal HDD :p

I think there's one bug they're trying to fix before putting it back up for download.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Vivaldi version 8.0.4033.50 released June 17: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/minor-update-eight-8-0/
    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
