Pierre do you know if these new drivers for the Marvell 9128 have fixed the non transmission of TRIM commands?

I noticed something a while back when I was swapping BIOS's a lot.  There is an option in the integrated peripherals screen for the Marvell controller to keep the BIOS on the (Marvell) chip, to use the latest, to use the one that is embedded in the Gigabyte BIOS, etc.  The exact options varied some with the Gigabyte BIOS.  This may be obvious, but I think I found out the hard way that you need to update (match) the Marvell BIOS with the Marvell BIOS embedded within the Gigabyte BIOS whenever you update the Gigabyte BIOS.  There is a setting now called AUTO which probably does that.  Where this really mattered for me was getting the UD3R to awaken properly from Windows 7 hybrid sleep.  Thank you Pierre for your work!

You can found new SATA3 firmware update for 88SE9128 Marvell chip to :
http://www.station-drivers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=9971#9971

I downloaded the firmware near the bottom of this page:
http://www.station-drivers.com/page/marvell.htm

I burned the ISO and booted it.  Is it safe to run it to update the Marvell firmware on a X58A-UD3R?
