Is the force GT one of the Corsair drives with the Marvell chipsets that has the automated garbage collection?
June 12, 201214 yr Damn, would have considered it for a cache drive if it was. The automated garbage collection in the Marvell chipset would make up for unraid's lack of TRIM support.
June 13, 201214 yr Essentially all modern SSD's have garbage collection now.... including Sandforce and Samsung controllers.
June 13, 201214 yr They do, but the efficiency rates of the garbage collection varies quite dramatically. Drives with the Marvell chipset are the only ones that get anywhere near the performance level of having TRIM in a non-TRIM OS.

Drives with the Marvell chipset are the only ones that get anywhere near the performance level of having TRIM in a non-TRIM OS. Not that I doubt you.. But can you site an article that shows that? I'd be interested to see how different they are... Thanks, jim
