Short history (you're probably talking about Intel's firmware problems):
- Intel releases X25-M (80 and 160GB) G1. G1 doesn't support TRIM.
- Intel releases X25-M (80 and 160GB) G2. G2's initial firmware doesn't
support TRIM.
- Intel makes TRIM-enabled firmware for G2 and publishes it.
- Customers hammer some of their G2 SSDs by flashing new firmware.
- Intel withdraws new firmware.
- Intel fixes firmware and releases new one (this time without nasty
behaviour). Read 2 updates on the start of first page:
http://www.anandtech.com/show/2865
- Intel sells it's technology to Kingston and Kingston starts to produce
40GB version of G2 named Kingston BootDrive SNV125-S2/40GB that doesn't
support TRIM. (Kingston produced some full-grown G1 and G2, but that is
not a point here. SNM125 and SNM225).
http://www.anandtech.com/show/2865/4
- Intel starts selling it's own 40GB G2 named X25-V with TRIM enabled
out of the box.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/2968/intel-s-x25-v-kingston-s-30gb-ssdnow-v-series-battle-of-the-125-ssds
- (guess) Intel needs too much royalties from Kingston for TRIM enabled
firmware, so Kingston SNV125-S2/40GB doesn't get (official) TRIM enabled
firmware and Kingston stops selling Intel-based SSDs.
Anyways, all X25-V are shipped with TRIM enabled firmware.
My current firmware is 2CV102HD.
hdparm -I /dev/sda gives this, too:
Enabled Supported:
* Data Set Management TRIM supported
* Deterministic read ZEROs after TRIM
