Hello Fernando, Newegg had my drive on sale for dirt cheap so I figured I would double my space. I have been doing a lot of reading trying to crash course my way into a raid0 configuration with 2 Corsair ForceGT ssd (SF-2282 I think). I have doubts on weather trim is truly working. I run the trimcheck-0.6 and get as status of trim seems to be NOT working. On occasion when I’m running ATTO benchmark tool and run the trimcheck tool at the same time, I can get a status of trim appears to be working. Is this normal behavior? I’m also wondering if you could help with the best driver combination for my z77 chipset. I am running windows 8.1 in UEFI mode. I just did enough reading to figure out how to get rid of the long boot time caused by the legacy raid rom on bootup. Thank you much.-Z77X-UP5 TH

I've no info about Force GT raid-0 trim compliancy with Z77 chipset.

With Z87 chipset it is NOT compliant, so no trim.
check Lost trim after upgrading to Z87

cheers,

Yes, these TRIMCheck results are quite normal for SSDs with a Sandforce Controller.
1. I recommend to insert the Intel RAID ROM and SataDriver v13.1.0.2126 into the BIOS (this version is newer and better than v13.1.0.2030).
2. An installation of any Intel Chipset Device Software Pack is not required at all, because Win8.1 has everything needed to detect and to manage the Intel chipset devices on-board.
You will not get any INF file installed by using this or any other v10.0.xx Intel Chipset Device Software Set. Only Intel 9-Series (and some 8-Series) Chipsets are supported by this new "INF Update Utility" development branch.
