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. :)

Cheers
