Does this drive have TRIM support?

Yes, clearly shown in benchmark testing as long as your hardware and OS support trim and are configured properly.

No, use your manufacture drive tool , third party software or simply reformat existing drive

I just got paid version of Tweak-SSD to enable TRIM Optimization and ran it: Now optimizing drive(s) C:\ on disk SanDisk SDSSDP064G ATA Device ----------------- Processing TRIM Data....(27398MB) Optimizing disk and writing TRIM data - completed 20% Optimizing disk and writing TRIM data - completed 40% Optimizing disk and writing TRIM data - completed 60% Optimizing disk and writing TRIM data - completed 80% Freeing up disk space and completing optimization ... The selected disk (partition) was optimized. ----------------- Done. The selected disk and its' partitions were optimized! Windows might slow down over the next few minutes, but this will normalize itself.

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.

No, it is a bare bones drive. I ordered a SATA cable separately from amazon.

I wish I could tell you for sure. In my case, I had to exchange the front plastic trim plate on the new unit with the one from my original. The drive then fit fine. You need to match up the actual part number of your original with this replacement (part number is on the white/yellow label on the drive. Hope this helps some.

Windows XP doesn't support TRIM functions. If you use Windows XP with any SSD, the SSD will degrade performance (slow down) and won't last long. Windows 7 and 8 supports TRIM, that is after the files were deleted, the OS will send deleted information to SSD, the SSD will erase those unused blocks in the background - this is called garbage collection. As a results, the SSD will perform faster and the SSD last longer.There may be some third party disk software to do similar TRIM functions, but you must run the disk software manually each month or each week depending upon your usage.

I have many of these drives running both Ubuntu and Win7.. No issues at all. Be sure to enable TRIM in Ubuntu, I heard 14.04LTS will do it automatically though.

It probably does. The drive itself is a great drive the problem lies in the whole firmware upgrade process.

Should be. But, without testing the drive one cannot be sure. It may be compatible in that your computer could see the drive and read and write to it. Not sure if the Samsung software would be able to see the drive and handle TRIM and other SSD specific operations.

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!

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.

Yes it does, I just installed a 1 TB Seagate HD in it with no issues, it is a SATA drive.

Yeah it should with Service Pack 3, but i don't think it would have TRIM support.

According to PNY's website (https://www3.pny.com/XLR8-SSD-120GB-P3161C517.aspx) it does support TRIM features from the OS.

Pretty sure it does not but you can just screw it in on one side if you want. No moving parts so wont hurt the drive.
