    After the mSATA is installed, TRIM must be enabled with a SandForce drive SSD as Microsoft AHCI driver v6.1.7600 Rev.16385 currently shipping with Windows 7 does not support the DSMcap (maximum supported TRIM sectors) provided by an SSD.

    This article explains how to change the Windows 7 System Registry, but it is not clear (to me) where to make the Registry change.

    Has anyone had success in enabling TRIM in a SandForce driven SSD?

    For most people, it's automatic. Then again, I suspect most people use IRST.
