R RT2020 macrumors regular Mar 2, 2010 #4 When they bother to implement trim support for SSDs. When will that happen? No one knows... as they cant even be bothered to release 10.6.3. for now.

Hardware drivers need to be updated to support trim under the OS level, and trip support needs to be built into the OS like windows 7.
