      TRIM support is nice to have, though for a SAC rig I don't deem it to be a deal breaker. If you're only using SSD for the boot drive, which is what I'm sure most of us are doing, then the only additional data being written to the drive are SAC mix session save files, which are quite small.

      We have SAW recording to an external 3.5" USB drive.

      If you're running SSD with XP, I would also suggest following this little guide on making XP more SSD friendly.

      According to ocz the sand force controllers do a good job of taking care of themselves even without trim support.

      Am I missing something? This seems to be nothing more than a bug fix report.

      Thank You for the link, I should have thought of turning off drive cashe myself, must be getting old. I did set my nlite copy of xp to prefetch boot only. Is that wrong? The dam thing boots faster than any xp system I have ever seen 11sec. fsutil.exe & dskcache.exe are great utilities thanks!
