AMD AHCI TRIM Driver Support Included In Driver v1.2.1.263

caveman-jim · Nov 10, 2010, 11:05 AM

When we covered the launch of AMD's new 8-series chipsets, we discovered that AMD didn't support TRIM on their fancy new SATA 3 6.0gbps SB850 southbridge.

This caused a little consternation for some, who liked the idea of running Windows 7 and it's native SSD support with your nice new AMD motherboard and SATA 3 interface.

AMD promised they would add support for TRIM at a later date, and rather quietly slipped it in to amd_sata.sys version 1.2 (1.2.1.263, to be exact). This was released without much fanfare as Catalyst 10.9's AHCI driver.

You can find this driver on AMD's Game.com driver download page, by selecting your OS version under the Motherboard / Integrated Graphics section and selecting the 'Optional Downloads' tab.

Got Questions or Issues? Post them in our AMD AHCI Driver discussion thread, here.
