Are there any commercially available SSDs that have this feature yet?
Anyone know which ones?
OCZ will release a new firmware for their Vertex line in the coming
days, which will feature ATA TRIM support.
And since they get their firmware directly from Indilinx, all SSDs
with this controller will be TRIM ready in the future.

Mmm.. sounds like they really don't understand "standards" there.
All of that nonsense about waiting until their proprietary "trim utility"
is working on Windows-7 before looking at a Linux implementation.
WTF? So long as they implement the required ATA opcode (correctly),
then it should "just work" fine on Linux. But that Windows-centred
discussion there really doesn't sound encouraging.
But hey, if they do get their act together, then the Vertex series
are supposedly the second-best consumer SSDs available these days,
after the highly touted/priced Intel ones. :)
