i have a late '08 15" 2.8 macbook pro. Internal HD is a 320gb Hitachi. I'm running a Filemate 48gb expresscard SSD, which is working great so far! very fast.

what i'm wondering is, is there any need to download and enable TRIM for it? i'm running the latest version of snow leopard.
 
in disk utility it says 64GB something something Media on the left, i need that something something
 
To see if your SSD supports trim or not:
Open up System Profiler (that's :apple:—>About This Mac—>More Info); then select Serial-ATA on the left hand side, and click on your SSD in the device tree. It will be listed as such—

that doesn't identify whether the SSD supports TRIM, just whether OSX does.

Only the 2011 MBP 10.6.7 and the 10.7 previews support TRIM, and only for Apple drives unless you hack a driver. After that, the OS will support TRIM on any drive that natively supports it.
