[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1689609"] Will TRIM put data recovery companies out of business? Perhaps -- or they will move laterally into become "data loss prevention specialists" (ie cloud backup). :) With SSDs, the need for backups is more important than ever: while SSDs will *probably* last you the full normal life of the machine (and, depending on how lightly or heavily you use them, beyond), when they decide to die for whatever reason, they just GO. Blink and its all over. No warning. No time to save files. Just done. So I think having at least one backup (and preferably a Time Machine backup, a clone backup, and an offsite/cloud backup of the really irreplaceable stuff) becomes even more vital now than it did with the spinning disks!
