vmware esxi 4.1 with sata ssd

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

This would be used in a dell poweredge r310 (just has onboard sata, no raid controller). At this point, standard 7200 RPM sata drives are working without issue.

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 c开发者_高级运维ome to mind?

Thanks in advance.

This will probably work but trim commands will not be issued to the drive. See this post for info: TRIM and ESXi
