Thanks for those clarification. Well, I guess my 2 rig has the problem, maybe the system files are messed up because they're "production systems". Thanks again.
As far as I know, there is no "RAID Option ROM version: 11.x.x.xxx, under System Report in IRST GUI, if you are on AHCI mode.
I know that Fernando has ASUS P8Z68-V (same as mine) and I am waiting for his confirmation/verification if TRIM (RAID-0) is working (not working on my test) if using...
I just installed IRST 11.7.0.1013 driver and to my surprise TRIM on RAID-0 is not working. Easy TRIM Test results are negative no matter what I tried (reboot, optimized using intel ssd toolbox, logged-off, etc), reverting back to IRST 11.6.2.1002 or 11.6.0.1030 gives me postive result. Hmmm, I...
@Fernando
Does installing IRST 11.6.2.1002 on Windows 8, the filter iaStorF.sys installed too? I haven't got the chance to try Windows 8 yet that's why I am asking :) And lastly, does Windows 8 better than Windows 7 in regards to TRIM support? TIA.
WOW! upon clicking reload in my browser, I saw --->http://www.anandtech.com/show/6477/trim-raid0-ssd-arrays-work-with-intel-6series-motherboards-too You are too fast :)
2 months ago I posted at overclock.net that I have a "friend from inside" told me to wait for this important feature (TRIM on RAID) especially on older chipsets. "He" told me that Intel will release an IRST driver that will support TRIM on RAID on older chipset, it makes me think and this must...
:D It makes me wonder, still no tech site e.g. http://www.anandtech.com , http://thessdreview.com/ , http://www.techpowerup.com/ regarding this great news! Come on Intel! What is your official statement about this? Or better yet, please explain it to us. :D
Latest ASUS P8Z68-V Pro/GEN3 and Deluxe BIOS 3603 has an OROM version of v11.2.0.1527, so no TRIM-enabled yet.
Based on my experience:
IRST 11.2.x.xxxx is a hit-and-miss driver if you're using a modified TRIM-enabled 11.6.0.1702 OROM. If I say hit-and-miss, you need to logged of, reboot or...
I hope Hellhammer tried to use Windows 8 Defrag to optimize his SSD. That's what I did yesterday on my friend system which has 2 x 120Gb Samsung 840 SSD. Samsung SSD's are not Sandforce Controller, right? From what I learned from other forums, only Sandforce Controlllers has "aggresive" TRIM...
In regards to modified OROM, only P67 and Z68 are tested as of now.
If TRIM (RAID-0) don't worked for you, try recreating RAID Array/Volume using RAID OROM 11.6.x.xxxx. My 6 units ASUS P8Z68-V and Pro and 8 units ASUS P8P67 B3 has an existing RAID Volume which was created from 10.x.x.xxxx OROM...
@organshifter
All I can suggest is a trial-and-error method.
First, you need to re-create your RAID-Volume using v11.6.0.1702 ( just like I recommends here ). Second, try my modded raid rom file (which works only on Z68 system). Lastly, test if TRIM works now.
Slightly off-topic:
For those sidebar gadget lovers out there, I just want to share a gadget for you to monitor your disk. You'll see some of indicator/readings when emptying recycle bin and so on... :cool:

To save you from flashing or modifying raid rom, you can also buy an Intel SSD and use Intel SSD Toolbox's SSD Optimizer --- TRIM (RAID-0) works without any modifications, though you need to manually TRIM your drives or setting a schedule Optimize using Intel SSD Toolbox :)
Upon checking with your modified raid_rom file, you replaced all values "01" to "07" I just tested it on my other system and here's what I found...
1. all values "01" replaced with "07" - TRIM (RAID-0) not working.
2. replacing only the specific value like for example Z68 chipset (or what...
