“I need to make an okay living. The people who work for us need to. But after you make a comfortable living, how much more do you need? It's like I make a joke about nerd values, because I'm very much in the rich nerd tradition. And you know, we say, like, hey, people pay us for this stuff, like programming. You know, what else do we need?”

CORSAIR HAS RELEASED FIRMWARE with TRIM support and a firmware update tool for its Performance Series P64, P128 and P256 solid-state drives.

The firmware (revision VBM19C1Q) and update tool were both developed by Samsung, and have been rigorously qualified by both Samsung and Corsair using a large number of test platforms, in conjunction with a controlled end-user BETA test of the new firmware.

The new firmware has been specifically designed to add support for the TRIM command in Windows 7, which enables the operating system to progressively "clean" previously deleted or "invalid" data from the drive's memory cells, automatically maintaining optimal performance over time. In addition to the end-user firmware update tool for existing owners, all new Corsair Performance Series solid-state drives currently have firmware VBM19C1Q pre-loaded by default.
