Hi,
So I bought an OCZ Vertex 2 SSD, and I intend to use it on a ECS A780GM-A motherboard with Windows 7. I thought everything was fine until I read here that AMD drivers don't support TRIM, it seems to be some kind of problem with the default MS driver and the SandForce controler, and SandForce does not handle ITGC very well.
Am I totally screwed? Can this SSD work with an AMD chipset? Can I use TRIM? What driver should I use? What kind of maintenance procedure shall I adopt, if any? Do I risk ruining my new SSD?
Any advice on how to use a SandForce SSD on a AMD chipset is very welcome, I'm very confused right now.
Thanks...
