Title: Several Marvell 9128 Questions
Post by: Bannon on February 06, 2010, 02:39:58 pm
I am considering buying a GA-X58A-UD5 board and I have several questions about the Marvell controller I hope you can answer.  Also, I am planning to use it for my Windows 7 64-bit boot drive which is an Intel 160GB G2 SSD.

-   Is the Marvell controller bootable in AHCI mode?  I read comments elsewhere that it is not.
-   Since I am planning to use it with a G2 Intel SSD, I want to be able to use the TRIM command.  Which device drivers should I use (i.e., Windows 7's default or Marvell's) to enable TRIM?
-   I can't find driver updates on the Marvell site so where do you go for the latest drivers?
-  What is the difference between the 9128 controller on this board and the 9123 controller used on competing boards?

Thanks in advance for your help.
