Does this drive have TRIM support?

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.

The lasted firmware v1.5 was pre-installed! But you don't mind if you install new OS. If using this SSD for Macbook, you may be need download TRIM Enable software to turn on TRIM function.Good luck for all!

I don't believe that it does. The hard drive I purchashed runs flawlessly though.

I believe that there is a trim kit for that unit. How ever, I did not use it. I did have to send that unit back, as it did not work properly.

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.

Yes, using it now. Macs do support TRIM. It can be turned on using third party widgets and tools. Apple turns on TRIM for APPLE SSD's but others can also be turned on.

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

No, just make sure that you remove the adapter on the existing drive to use with this one.

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

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 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 ...

Windows might slow down over the next few minutes, but this will normalize itself.

Yes, it comes from the factory formatted with FAT32 but you can reformat it with NTFS if desired or most any other system.

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.

Don't recall. But drive failed within a year or so after purchase (18 months max) , so I wouldn't recommend you buy it.

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.
