Processor/Cache CPU: Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2600 v4 † / v3 family (up to 160W TDP **) Dual Socket R3 (LGA 2011) Cores / Cache.
I'm making the jump from HDDs to SSDs on my home desktop, and I'd like to retain a basic level of redundancy (RAID-1) like what I have with my HDDs.
Right now, I'm using Intel's RAID controller on my motherboard (Asus Z-87A, Intel Z87 controller), and the array works just fine for my uses (yes, I'm aware motherboard-based RAID setups aren't as nice as a dedicated RAID card, but I didn't have the money for a dedicated card when I built this computer)
My concern, however, would be whether or not it would be possible to use TRIM on these drives while they're in an array.
Does anyone know if Intel's SATA/RAID controllers (specifically the Z87) supports TRIM on drives in a RAID1 array?

Intel RST RAID1 still does NOT support TRIM. Test with Driver version 14.8.0.1042. TrimCheck: i waited 60 minutes, reboot did not help.
