Have not seen this posted here - looks like non-apple SSD users can activate TRIM: http://www.hardmac.com/news/2011/03/27/the-universal-solution-to-activate-trim

Thanks for posting. Actually, the guy who wrote Trim Enabler debut it here on the forums. It was just the Mac Pro forums:

Does the C300 support TRIM for real? (looks like it by the light of this link: http://www.hardmac.com/news/2011/03/27/the-universal-solution-to-activate-trim )

I thought it lacked the TRIM option??

Yep. Any SSD that has TRIM support in Windows can also be supported in OSX with this hack.

Patched my OWC Extreme Pro yesterday. Halved my boot up time from 24 to 12secs. No problems with browsing or deleting files as some have reported.

I'm literally going back-and-forth right now about ordering w/ Apple SSD for TRIM support. 256 gig still expensive for "not a lot" of space.

Wonder how it would work to get the small SSD equipped and replace it with a faster drive...TRIM should still be enabled (?) and maybe go with a 2 SSD config in the end?
