Does this drive support TRIM?

SSD on an old mobo that is sata1 or 2 and does not suppor AHCI will not help much. You will get some speed benifets as long as the SSD is mostly empty. But as it gets full and is used more it will slow down. Eventually the SSD will be slower than themechanicaldrive. The mother board really has to support AHCI (advanced host control interface) in order to make a SSD feasible. With out AHCI the computer will not pass the trim command down to the SSD so it wont delete old data when you delete. Instead the old data will be deleted when you need to write over it, causing a very long write delay. Also Windows XPisn't very SSD friendly and XP is unfortunately not supported TRIM. The TRIM command enables the OS to notify the SSD that old data is no longer valid. TRIM is non-specific to eitherSATA controllermode, and will work equally well in both IDE and AHCI-mode. If you want to use SSD on WinXP and check the link maybe help. I don't try to use SSD on winxp yet. http://www.prime-expert.com/articles/a06/performance-tu...

It will work, yes, but I'm sure it will dramatically slow down over time because I highly doubt that this model supports the TRIM feature, which is a necessity for SSDs. You can read more about TRIM for SSDs by Googling it.My suggestion is to look for a NAS that is specifically designed to work with SSDs, like some models from QNAP.

YEs, make sure that you "mount" the drive correctly first otherwise it won't work. Suggest that TRIM be enabled as well. There should be some installation videos online as well to help you get it working.

Yes, it is compatible, although you wouldn't reach this drive's max potential.

No. New drives have to be equal to or larger than the largest installed drive.

Yes if you run the JetDrive Toolbox and enable it. Apple only officially supports TRIM on their SSD's but the JetDrive Toolbox modifies the system to turn it on. There is a warning that you do it at your own risk though.

I am not 100% sure but a disk drive is a disk drive. You will also need to get a Mac app called Trim Enabler because none Apple drives with not have this enable by default. You will need Carbon Copy Cloner to move your data from one drive to another.

Yes. It's a 2.5" 7mm height drive. Most are 9.5mm high but the shorter height should cause no problems. There are 2mm spacers in the event there's some mounting issue.

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

Yes, but any information on it would be removed during the install process. You need a blank drive so the disk station can format it.

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

yes it will, but afterwards you will have to extend the partition if you want to use the full drive.

Works fine but XP does not support TRIM (look it up) you must use supplied Magician software to keep up speed. Also check out partition alignment. I think these drives are best used as a System drive with traditional disk as Data drive. (Multi Drive System). Make sure you create Recovery Disks for re-installation. Samsung transfer software will not transfer Recovery Partition. Also buy drive kit (not bare drive) with transfer cable and mounting hardware. Hope this helps.

Yes. However some reviewers have stated that the firmware in the controller does a better job than the OS-based TRIM. Either way, this drive has much better endurance than the first generation SSDs did.

MAC Yosemite do support trim, no need to use third party software. I am using last 10 months with our any problem in my Mid 2012 model. Please have a look here: http://mashtips.com/maximize-performance-and-increase-life-of-ssd/

I don't know. My problem with the drive was the format function would fail to ever complete.
