Sata SSD for ESXi 4.1?

[jimbob201110141]

Is it possible to use a sata ssd (e.g., Intel X25-M) with VMWare ESXI 4.1?

For several months, I have been running several sata drives in a dell poweredge r310 (just has onboard sata, no raid controller).  Everything seems to be working fine.  I was wondering if I can add a sata ssd.

I can't find any ssd's on the hardware compatibility list. 

Will ESXi recognize one? How do you perform the TRIM functions, will ESXi do this?

Any problems come to mind?   Thanks in advance.

There is no direct support for SSD and so no TRIM. You are certainly welcome to try. I have seen some suggestions that SSD works well as a VM swap destination.

there is no trim support, and as long as it's connected to a recognizable motherboard or raid card it will be recognize just like your sata disks.
