According to a benchmark, OS X doesn't really require TRIM to keep the performance up. Please see this link: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/apple/2010/07/01/

I have been using two Intel X25-M SSDs as RAID 0 in a Macbook Pro almost a year now and I've yet to see any loss in performance. Apple has been offering SSDs as BTO for quite some time now. If you can use a screwdriver I suggest you buy a Sandforce-based SSD and install it yourself as those are immensely faster than the Apple-provided ones.
- alsocasey 16y agoThat article is misleading for a number of reasons, foremost that they performed a full format before getting started, effectively trashing the SSD's performance. See here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1486847 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1486847 However, TRIM support is mostly a moot point if you go with the Apple offered SSD upgrade, since the Toshiba drives they ship features very aggressive background GC (making TRIM rather redundant). There is still a question mark as to how severly this constant background GC will affect the durability of the drives though:http://www.anandtech.com/show/4010/kingston-ssdnow-v-plus-100-review http://www.anandtech.com/show/4010/kingston-ssdnow-v-plus-10...
