Guys, Intel matrix storage driver versus Windows 7 native driver. Which one do you use?

It's no longer called that; it's named "Intel Rapid Storage Technology". The latest copy is ironically, not hosted at Intel but at:

So what is the conclusion? I read that Intel's driver does not support native trim and Windows driver is better.

Corsair Force GT 120GB SSD Review
The Force GT is the latest in Corsair's range of SandForce based SSDs and features a tweaked architecture which should benefit reading and writing of music and video files (uncompressible data). Today we will be putting the 120GB model through a selection of synthetic and real world tests to find out how it compares to an alternative model which is also tuned for OS use rather than maximum IOPS.

Patriot Wildfire 120GB SSD Review
Second-generation solid-state drives (SSDs) based on a new-and-improved SandForce controller are arriving thick and fast, but from what we've seen thus far, it's clear that not all SF-2281-based drives are made equal.

OCZ has attempted to cover all bases with its extreme (Vertex 3 Max IOPs), high-end (Vertex 3) and mid-range (Agility 3) models, and Corsair has also put forth two interesting propositions - the competitively-priced Force Series 3 for everyday performance, and the extreme Force GT for those who demand maximum performance.

Next in line to join the second-generation SandForce festivities is Patriot Memory, who has opted to throw caution to the wind and come out firing on all cylinders with the aptly titled Wildfire.

google it, there have been problems associated with it. Crucial C300 intermittent freezing issues have been closely linked to IRST driver.
