The TRIM command is an essential part of SSD maintenance and helps keep the drive running at top speed. It’s available natively for Macs using SSD’s purchased from Apple but if you’ve got a third party drive, enabling TRIM requires some fancy Terminal work. Until now, that is.
We previously thought that OS X wouldn’t see TRIM support until Lion came out later this year. But as it turns out, Apple slipped it in to the 10.6.6 build currently shipping with new Macbook Pros. [Apple Insider]
OS X Lion Will Use TRIM commands when dealing with SSDs, which will extend the life of the storage devices found in all MacBook Airs. [HardMac via Cult of Mac]
