Kingston Introduces New SSD With TRIM Support

[WyomingKnott]

"Innovative," they claim? Every manufacturer and his pet monkey is selling an SSD. What's innovative?

what is going on with companies making new models with TRIM, rather than updating firmware to have TRIM?

There guys know that they are milking a non existent market when they should be letting it grow rite...

The biggest thing is that they should make native 3.5 inch drives, and not these 2.5 inch drive formats, the larger the space (on par with a regular hdd) means they can use lower density ram chips, provided the controller is up to par.

Thanks to everyone buying laptops instead of desktops, the trend will be towards 2.5" drives. 3.5" drives will be sold as storage bricks.

That's just what I reckon though

I agree with what was said earlier, make the 128GB SSD $200 and we can talk....

I agree that they are outrageously priced. What I want may not be available until 2013 or 2014: 250GB+ of space, 200MB+ read and 150MB+ write, TRIM support, costing $120-140. That's worthwhile because it's a big jump in speed without sacrificing too much space (I could probably comfortably use a 250GB drive for a few years as long as it's not for primary storage of an entire library of movies.)

[citation][nom]alvine[/nom]515gb ssd drive is almost 2 grand? wow you can build such a nice system for that.[/citation]

Yeah, but if your HDD sucks...

Now they should release replacement firmware for the rest of their drives to enable trim.

I got hosed with the last V+ when Kingston said, "It doesn't support TRIM at this time, but the Samsung I/C will in the future." and that never happened.

all i want is 2 SSD's in RAID 0 with TRIM (they can be 64 GB each) and I will be happy. I can't believe this capability isn't available to people willing to pay for it.
