SSD detected as HDD by OS X

[Chris155]

I'm having some problems with a new SSD in a mid 09 1.86ghz macbook air.

I installed it and everything went ok until I checked for trim support (running 10.6.8), found out that Mac OS X has mistakenly identified the SSD as a conventional HDD and therefore won't enable trim. I did a clean install, smc and pram resets, even tried running Lion but I'm having the same problem. I know the SSD supports trim since I tried with Windows 7 on bootcamp and it reports it as enabled.

This is what System Profiler reports of the SSD (it's an apple toshiba unit)


NVidia MCP79 AHCI:

Is there any way of fixing this?

Maybe try verifying disk? I fond it odd that it comes up as a TS128 but says rotational? Its almost like the SSD itself doesn't know its an SSD
