Add the Sandisk Extreme to the list too. I recently updated mine and now there is no longer a need to run Trim Enabler and shutdowns are consistently instantaneous.

Trim wasn't enabled with R201 unless I used Trim Enabler. With R211, Trim is automatically enabled and working properly.

Are you sure about that? I have both SSDs in raid 0 (480gb extreme), and system profiler is telling me that trim is NOT enabled! Both running 211 of course.
