Hi Danny, according to OCZ, they will not be offering any firmware updates to the Core drives which means no TRIM support. It may not be their choosing, the manufacturer of the drive controller needs to support this.

Almost all of the latest drives with Indilinx controllers should be getting firmware updates to support native TRIM in Win 7. The newest Intel drives are supposed to as well. As far as which one to pick, look around a bit. Some perform better than others due to higher quality NAND and/or more aggressive firmware - benchmarks are everywhere now including a number on this site. Also, check out the warranties.
