I have a 2011 MBP.

Do I need to update the firmware on the drive when it arrives, or is it good to go?

The one I ordered was on the latest version but it never hurts to check.

Okay so as long as the firmware is up to date with that on OCZ's website, there is no further action required to ensure compatibility/max performance?

While on the topic, is TRIM enabled by default?

It's not as important with a Sandforce drive because they do their own garbage collection, independent of the OS. TRIM is basically the OS telling the drive 'hey clean yourself up'.

I did catch on to this.

But it's not "bad" by having it enabled on the OS X side, right?

Wait, what?

Did you mean "can"? Because you just told me to download TRIM enabler, even though the SSD has that build-in trim like functionality.

You dont NEED to enable TRIM with a SandForce based SSD, but you CAN. It wont hurt. I would still do it, if it were me.
