Should I enable TRIM on OCZ Vertex 4?

[bigboar]

I havent done so yet and after searching the net it seems that everyone is split on whether or not you should enable it...

Since this drive has its own garbage collection, I'd say its not neccessary as you'll probably not see much of a performance hit to the drive thanks to its garbage collection routine.

Check out our own MR member who gave the AnandTech review of the 128gb model here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6074/ocz-vertex-4-review-128gb and the 256gb review here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6143/ocz-agility-4-256gb-review

How do u like it so far? Did it make a huge difference? I just got a new 2012 pro and have a vertex 4 256gb sitting there, not sure if i want to put it in there just yet

I have TRIM enabled for all my SSDs, even the ones I have in external enclosures.

AFAIK External enclosures don't support trim.

Some Thunderbolt enclosures do (ie: Buffalo MiniStation Thunderbolt).

so far it is awesome!!! my mbp takes 7-8 seconds to go from power up to my password login screen and there is no wait opening applications. I am new to this and the best way for me to explain it is it feels like opening an app on my ipad or iPhone.

Have you done any benchmark tests before and after? Like geekbench?

Can you post a screenshot that shows TRIM enabled from System Info?

not yet. the only thing I have done test wise is read/write speed(I posted a thread) and last night I ran the extended apple hardware test after I installed 16gb of ram. I will run geek bench in a little bit and post my results

I just used geek bench free. It can only run a 32bit test on the trial and my result was 6938..whatever that means LOL
