Hi all,
Installed a Samsung 830 (256GB) in my 2010 MacBook Pro 15" just last week.
I'm still running Snow Leopard and did not enable Trim.
It runs great, very snappy performance so no complaints there.
However, various posts I've read indicate that the computer should be left idle for a couple of hours to allow the SSD controller to perform its garbage collection routine.
Should I increase the idle period before sleep when running on AC power? If the hard drive is sleeping will the controller not be able to perform the routines or will the drive be awakened?
