X25-E SSD ... new "trim" ata command ?

I know that for the MLC version, the X25-M, Intel has come out with a firmware update to support the new proposed ATA "trim" command, but what about the SLC drive, the X25-E ?

 

In some ways one could say there's less of a need for the "trim" command on the X25-E, because it is so fast, faster than the X25-M, but I'm in no rush to make a purchase. And I'd hate to buy something that will be obsolete a few months later... replaced by something a bit better.

 

So, are there any plans to offer a firmware update for the X25-E ? Or will there soon be an updated version of the X25-E product, that supports the "trim" command ? that is to say, command ATA8-ACS2.

Apologies for the delay in responding to your question, but I've been trying to investigate this internally with my SSD counterparts.  While we are familiar with the value of this command, all I can say is the party line that we don't typically comment on future products or features.

 

Thanks,

Brad

I have same question. Will be update for SSD X25-E?

Will be implemented TRIM with free specification (or like in standard ATA8-ACS2) for better implementation in JFFS2, BRTFS, NILFS and ext4?

 

Thanks for your answer.
