Does anyone know if this update will work with the Kingston branded drives as well?

I guess they didn't have enough time to debug their firmware...I thought that was why they made everyone wait months and months for Win7 release before they would release the TRIM firmware in the first place.
Looks like Intel is having their GMA graphics drivers team develop firmware for their SSD's on the weekends :laugh:

the tool does manual trim people... you only need to run it once after upgrading firmware as long as you have windows 7 and ahci.

Technically, manual TRIM doesn't make sense as TRIM is just a command to tell the drive which blocks are available - when idle, it cleans up those blocks that have been deemed available by TRIM. The command in the toolkit probably tells the SSD to clean up now as opposed to later (when idle). There is a delay because erasing blocks takes a noticeable amount of time (i.e. stalling incoming reads/writes).
Wiper != TRIM.

Borked my Win7 64 installation. It is trying to do a repair now but I'm not that hopeful. Didn't have that much on it anyways so not a big deal to reinstall.

so nobody else has experienced any issues with the ssd toolbox? I still cannot get it to detect my drive, any ideas? (currently running win7 pro)

Same problem here. I updated FW fine but Toolbox is not recognizing my Intel SSD 160GB nor my Raptor 150GB.
