I've seen some mixed messages about this, but I'm wondering if anyone has any idea regarding the best course of action to take periodically with a pair of X25-M G2 drives in RAID 0 mode (controller is an ICH10R southbridge, X58 NB).
I have flashed both drives to the latest firmware prior to building the RAID set. My understanding is that TRIM commands don't operate through the RAID, so I was wondering if the latest firmwares include built in garbage collection, and whether the drive will automatically recover lost performance over time? Or will I need to manually perform steps like 'Tony Trim' or whatever to get back lost performance?
