Intel Pulls X25-M G2 TRIM Firmware Update

[masterasia]

My SSD is still working just fine after the update. I'm running Windows 7 Ent 64-bit.

Well that is interesting indeed, I wonder if one can still obtain a copy of the firmware now, seeing as how Intel has removed it from their website.

Firmware has now been updated (as of 30 nov. 2009).
Will Toms Hardware update this article ? 🙂

I am considering to buy an Intel X25-M and reinstall my Windows XP on it (I don't want Windows 7 for now).
My question: With the latest firmware available and whatever SSD Toolbox/optimizer shipping with the drive (as the latest version-download is currently disabled on Intel's site) what performance can I expect? Like Windows XP vs. Windows 7 and most importantly SSD vs ordinary HD.

My laptop is a Znote 6214W with a 80GB SATA Hitachi Travelstar (5400RPM, must likely just SATA150).

All comments appreciated.
