After a brief beta test, Corsair has recently begun offering firmware version VBM19C1Q which adds the ATA TRIM command to the company’s lineup of Samsung-based P-series SSDs.
“This new firmware release for Corsair’s Performance Series SSDs adds support for the TRIM performance-maintenance command in Microsoft Windows 7, further enhancing what are already some of the fastest and most respected SSDs on the market,” said Jim Carlton, VP of Marketing for Corsair. “While other SSD manufacturers have rushed out bug-ridden firmware and update tools, sometimes with disastrous consequences for end-users, Corsair refused to jump on the bandwagon. We took the time to rigorously test and quality our tools, ensuring that our users will have the best experience possible.”
The new firmware and the appropriate flashing tool are available immediately from Corsair’s support forum; the firmware works for the Corsair P64, P128 and P265 drives, erases all data during flashing, and only works when the motherboard’s drive controller is set to IDE mode.
And because these drives now support the ATA TRIM command, we’ve added them to our growing list of SSDs which feature the performance-sustaining standard.
