NAS that supports SSDs with TRIM? [SOLVED]
Q. I am looking for a NAS that will let me use SSDs and supports TRIM. That is very important to me because I want the SSDs to last a long time. I like Intel or Samsung drives if possible and I only need 100GB to 200GB or so. FYI I am looking for a two bay RAID1 mirrored solution. Thank you!

For a complete list of supported SSDs and the configuration requirements make sure to check here. I can tell you that this Intel SSD is listed as fully supported with TRIM:
Of course there are other models available, but that seems the best match for your request.
