None, I'd say. I've been running an older X25-m generation on a Win2K box for 14 months now. No TRIM in firmware, no TRIM in W2K. Disk has been filled and cleaned out numerous times since I bought it and it still performs adequately. I'd be surprised if your SSD would suffer from the few months until you get TRIM in 10.7.

On the other side of things, I've owned 3 X25-M's. A first gen that died in 9 months, a second gen (RMA replacement) that just started acting weird and corrupting things last month (was about 15 months old and was in a RAID 0 array with another X25M but I undid the array and began using the better of the two X25M's). Needless to say I use Dropbox, Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner very often. related: http://paulstamatiou.com/ssd-raid-performance-9-months-later http://paulstamatiou.com/ssd-raid-performance-9-months-later http://paulstamatiou.com/ssd-corrupt-failure-intel-x25m http://paulstamatiou.com/ssd-corrupt-failure-intel-x25m
