SSD RAID 0 w/ TRIM?

I'm building an SR-2 and was wondering if this board can support the Intel 160 SSD G2 with TRIM in RAID 0? Read something about intel releasing an update for raid trim support, but only on intel motherboards.
 
From what i have seen in real life Trim is only support in RAID0 with Intel SSD's on an Intel raid controller, so as long as the board has an intel raid controller it should work
 
That isn't entirely accurate. Intel controllers that are set to RAID 0 with mechanical drivers can pass TRIM commands to SSDs that are NOT a part of the RAID group but attached to the same controller. There was a lot of confusion about this when the drivers were first announced. As far as I can tell, nobody has drivers yet that pass TRIM commands down through to the individual drivers.

dlphenal is correct.. Basically what that means is if you have 2 mechanical drives in raid 0 on a controller with 3 or more ports & then have a SSD hooked up to another port the TRIM will still work on that SSD. The SSD however is not part of the raid array. From what I understand nobody has an ETA on when we will have TRIM working on a drive while it is in a raid array..

Keep in mind however that even though the OS controlled TRIM doesn't work the native garbage collection on the SSD's still work.. So if your wanting to run a pair of SSD's in raid 0 with top performance over time make sure you get SSD's with good GC (the crucial c300 series is tops here if I remember correctly)

If that is the case, then why is my brother in laws intel SSD's in raid 0 have trim enabled

They can have TRIM enabled but they won't be getting commands to run it. ;)
