[QUOTE="hojnikb, post: 1663061, member: 354950"] Just to clear some misinformation... No ssd [B]requires[/B] TRIM to work. Trim is just a command, that tells the SSDs controller, that certain data is invalid (ie, you deleted a file). Without trim, ssds has no way of knowing which data is valid and which is not right up to a point, when you try to write to a sector, which had previously deleted data. As for garbage collection; EVERY SSD has it. SSDs simply cannot function without it. It just happens, that OWC uses sandforce, which relies heavily on compression and give little importance to trim command it receives. Because Sandforce drives can accumulate additional space for overprovisiong via compression, they can sustain optimal write performance longer, because it has more fresh block, that can be written to immediatly.
