Does this drive have TRIM support?

Hi Brandon, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. All of our SSDs use LSI Sandforce controllers and support TRIM. The TRIM function will work as long as the operating system installed supports this function, Windows 7/8.x support TRIM. For any further assistance, please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

I installed it in a HP2730p. Spec's were 1.8" SATA II interface. Dropped right in. No Trim, Fast drive for the price.

The drive I have in it is an SSD. But there is a small piece of foam you can add. The drive is not tight against any part of the case though.

This drive is defective and has no TRIM support, buy a Drive with a Marvell Controller or a Samsung

Compatibility wise everything works except TRIM, as only apple certified SSDs have it enabled by default. TRIM is a set of instructions that collects the garbage your computer creates over time which causes your computer to "slow down" and deletes it internally so it stays at optimal performance. It can be enabled using a 3rd party application called Trim Enabler and it also has other features such as disabling the motion sensor in your macbook, because you won't be having any moving parts in your hard drive so it saves you battery by turning off the sensor. It also gives you information about your SSD's S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) attributes, benchmarks and temperature of your SSD. I hope that clarifies your question about compatibility, and as far as rating goes I wouldn't have a valid scale since this is the only SSD I've ever used in a macintosh system but from personal experience its a solid 5/5

I don't know if you can be sure, but I bought mine over 3 months ago and it is the removable drive version.

Yes it does but I think I had one hole open after the install. Remember to download the driver and install it. You can't see this drive but it's working.

I have three Linux distributions on this drive and TRIM is enabled on all three...no issues

It should work in an external enclosure just fine. But TRIM is not supported over USB (I think). You need to partition and format the drive before Windows can see it. Right click My Computer, select Manage, then go to Disk Management. This should show you if the drive is present. If the drive was partitioned and formatted prior to being inserted in the USB case, then something is wrong somewhere. The USB enclosure is bad or something is wrong with the drive.

Yes, it will work in the thin version, however you will need to replace the thin back with a thick back plate because the drive is too thick to fit.

Sorry, but the one I purchased just want out of its warranty and it died on me 1 week later. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS DRIVE FOR IMPORTANT DATA.When I now plug it in, all I hear is a click, click, click, so it is dead. I will never purchase another one of these!

This SSD works perfectly on a Mac. After install you want to search Google for a tool called "Trim Enabler" this will enable the built-in trim in OSX for third party Solid State Drives. Trim Enabler is found on a site called groths.org (I have no affiliation with the software, I have just used it many time with good success).

There are third party TRIM Enablers that work with it if needed. But if you have an older MAC this drive was said to be running slow. Also new MAC's are said to be coming out with software that checks the hard drive for 3rd party drivers and prevents them from working. I don't know about that, our MAC Book Pro is only about 6 months old and it works fine without doing anything extra as a second drive.

Nope. Your XBOX doesn't have the functionality that can format and set up the drive by itself. It will be on SATA I or II most likely and terrible controllers that will gain nothing from the SSD. Plus, with TRIM it will kill the SSD slowly and you won't have nearly as much storage for the money using an SSD. Don't do it; it won't work.

I don't know. The hard drive I bought was brand new. You could contact them and ask.

None as far as I know of. I purchased the 480 gig version and all that came with it was the SSD and an adapter to make it fit in a 9mm drive space if needed. The Crucial website sells software to assist in installing the SSD so check it out to see if that will help.

Yes it does. It will come formatted with FAT32, so you will have to change it to NTFS, but it is possible.
