OS X does not support TRIM. TRIM is only enabled on the G2 Intel SSDs and newer competing models, the original G1 does not have the instruction.

- blasdel 17y agoAnd using a drive firmware that expects TRIM results in a massive regression when the kernel isn't regularly telling it to trim blocks, as it disables its normal GC. The Intel GC algorithm was great. I would have preferred it if they had simply ignored all the 'power user' fanboys that constantly harp on about how it would somehow save the day. Let them buy other drives, and leave more for the rest of us.
- cdr 17y agoIf G2s are shipping with TRIM firmware, couldn't you just downgrade to a pre-TRIM version if you're so concerned? I don't understand how running Win7 makes you a 'power user fanboy' as opposed to running OSX or Linux. Next time leave the second half of your comment off, and maybe provide some evidence for your first.
