SSDs that support TRIM natively?

With so many SSDs out there now, I'm confused. The only thing I know for certain is that the Intel X25-M G2s have native TRIM support (on Win 7).

Are there any other drives out there that also have the same support? I had my heart set on the G2s when they become more available, but the prices have soared beyond belief, so I'm thinking I'll go with a different manufacturer. However, I don't know any details outside of the Intel G2s.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

PS: Reviews are not too helpful, as firmwares seem to come out so quickly, what they reviewed may not reflect what is actually available (I thought Indilinx and Samsung controllers finally have native TRIM support? I thought I read somewhere that JMicron fixed the stuttering issue? Or was all that just a pleasent dream?)
 
The OCZ Vertex and Agility now support native TRIM commands. The cards being shipped now should have the 1.4 firmware, which is the latest at this time.
 
Although the X-25m G2 have "native" TRIM support, because of the firmware issues, is there any chance that Intel pulled the OS drivers that enable TRIM to function under Win7?

I think you can't get, the SSD Center, or whatever it was called from Intel, how does that affect actually suing TRIM?
 
Not to bump and old thread, but I wanted to thank you for the response. I rarely check the forums, sorry. I did eventually get the 160GB G2 when it was on sale for $470 at Amazon IIRC. Looks like the only worthy SSDs to get are the Intel G2s and the OCZs Vertex and Agility series.

Sure, there may be other Indilinx controlled SSDs out there, but OCZ is the only company that seem to care about their customers.

I was so addicted to the speed, I eventually got a OCZ Vertex 60GB as well for my server. :) Was a ShellShocker on NewEgg for around $200 IIRC.

I'm set! Next huge purchase will have to be when SATA 3.0 (6Gbps), USB 3.0, and 6-core CPUs come out, which isn't long!
