[QUOTE="Exodist, post: 1620288, member: 284358"] Keep in mind, while USB 3.0 is the first real useful speed for external drives IMHO. It will never keep up with the speed of your SSD. The SSD does have some built in garbage collection which will help keep the SSD snappy and without proper garbage collection it will slow down. But this is also what TRIM Enabler is, its garbage collection for your SSD but handled by the operating system instead of the firmware. By default TRIM is turned off, all this software does is turn in back on in the system and give you a few more options. I am fairly confident just installing TRIM Enabler is all you will ever need. As it will handle your drives garbage collection and keep it running smooth. I have used it for a few years on my Samsung 830 series and it has worked great. [/QUOTE]
