    Hi,

    I got a Dell Latitude E4200 with a Samsung SSD PB22-JS3 TM 64GB drive. Does anyone know if its firmware can be upgraded to support TRIM in Windows 7? Current firmware version is VBM19D1Q. Seems like the version that support TRIM is VBM19C1Q. Doesnt that seem like a downgrade? I've had my notebook since October 2009 so I dont think it has TRIM support from the factory.

    Firmware location I think is here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/products/flash/ssd/2008/business/business.html

    Thanks,
    HMR.

    Page 2 of the Samsung firmware update guide states:

    There's no mention of 1.8" SSDs (which is what I think the E4200 uses). I don't know how you can check if a HDD firmware already includes TRIM support.

    I am going to be testing one of these on Monday to see if the firmware can be updated with that 2.5" firmware. I have 2 E4200s and one has that same drive and one has a drive that's even older.
