TRIM Problems

With the Extreme Pro and other quality SSDs using premium Marvell controllers, TRIM is not super important because this SSD is so good at maintaining itself. The short time it takes to manually run TRIM (and the reason it is not running automatically) is most likely the outcome of the extremely efficient controller that is maintaing the SSD both ‘on-the-fly’ and during periods of extended idling, and hence there is no need for further action.

With some older Macs, users do not have the option of enabling TRIM on their machines when doing a SSD upgrade. Still, the speeds of the Extreme Pro and other SSDs using Marvell controllers do NOT slow over time, and the controller keeps the SSD running at optimal speeds, while also maximizing endurance. Other than for use of upgrading the firmware, IMHO SSD Dashboard is not needed at all for the Extreme Pro.
