Corsair has recently released the new firmware for its P series solid state drives to enable Windows 7 TRIM support, and also offers an update tool designed by Samsung for safety.

“This new firmware release for Corsair’s Performance Series SSDs adds support for the TRIM performance-maintenance command in Microsoft Windows 7, further enhancing what are already some of the fastest and most respected SSDs on the market,” said Jim Carlton, VP of Marketing for Corsair. “While other SSD manufacturers have rushed out bug-ridden firmware and update tools, sometimes with disastrous consequences for end-users, Corsair refused to jump on the bandwagon. We took the time to rigorously test and quality our tools, ensuring that our users will have the best experience possible.”

The fresh firmware (Revision VBM19C1Q) will only work on Corsair P64, P128, and P256 drives, and can be downloaded via here. Please back up your DATA before doing this update as the tool will erase the contents of the drive.
