A little behind the majority of its competitors (OCZ, Gskill, Intel…), Corsair has issued a firmware for its SSD containing the Samsung controller that brings the support of TRIM. To recall, it acts a SATA command that allows the computer to indicate to the disc controller the sectors to be completely erased so as to avoid the degradation of the performances that happens if the blocks of data are just flagged ready for deletion.Corsair played it ironical by saying that they preferred to take their time in order to issue an update without any defect, recalling the problems that Intel experienced at the time of the update of its X25-M G2.Alas, the TRIM is not supported by Mac OS X. Thus there is no question of benefitting from this function using our Macs where the SSD will slow down with writing over time. Fortunately, certain discs use the function Garbage collector
