In computing, a TRIM command allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive (or "SSD") which data blocks, such as those belonging to a deleted file, are no longer considered in use.

Since an operating system command such as delete generally only means the data blocks are flagged in its file system as "not in use" (and thus available for new writes), the operation does not involve a physical write to the sectors that contain the data. While this often enables undelete tools to recover files from traditional hard disks, despite them being reported as "deleted" by the operating system, bypassing the storage medium also means that it remains unaware that the status of these sectors was changed. Because low-level operation of solid-state drives differs significantly from traditional hard disks (see details below), this approach resulted in unanticipated performance degradation of write operations on SSDs. In response to this, the TRIM command was introduced to allow the OS to explicitly pass the information on to the SSD controller, enabling the SSD to handle overhead that would otherwise impact future write operations on the involved blocks.

Yeaa, you'd think... But how long have Apple been floggin the Macbook air with SSD for? Should have warrented a TRIM update a long time ago, but its not happened... which makes it overdue.. Im just saying, its probably not advisable (imo) to invest in the technology until theres full OS support.
