This is not correct. LSI SAS2008 I/O controllers do support TRIM with
drives that support both deterministic trim (DRAT) and deterministic
read zero after trim (DZAT).

The mpt2sas kernel driver will not enable TRIM if DZAT is unavailable
(which some drives with DRAT lack), so researching the drive you wish
to purchase and the I/O controller is a must.
