Need HBA for SSD (with trim)

[vxspiritxv]

I couldn't find a single controller that specifically said it supports trim.

pci pci-e doesn't matter, looking to build a win7 box.
Want to use the internal ich10r 6ports just for a huge raid 5 array & add a second controller to control a single (ocz vortex turbo) SSD for OS.

Best bang for the buck I could find was:

As far as I can tell, no external controller supports TRIM. You'll have to use the one on the mobo and use the built in Windows AHCI driver. If you put the RAID5 array on the external controller, you can use your mobo for the SSD.

So this looks like an Intel screw up, buy making something with no support. What kind of fool makes a car with no tires or wheels. Intel get busy.

It's not just Intel's fault. The makers of the SATA controllers need to write drivers that allow the TRIM command to be passed from the OS to it, and then to the drive. It will happen eventually, but not in the very near future.

It works on Intel's controllers, and as already mentioned it's not their fault that everyone else are a bunch of lazy gits.

The controllers on both AMD and Intel motherboards will support TRIM, you just have to use Window's built in drivers. The actual controller hardware itself isn't the issue, it's the drivers. The TRIM command was just finalized before Windows 7 release, so it'll take awhile before driver's are written that will support it correctly.
