Is this but a tempest in teacup, or should we all fester and rail until Apple finally provides/supports TRIM?
IMHO this is a tempest in a teapot issue.
There have always been those users who bleat and moan because their computer is a nanosecond slower than someone else's computer when in reality only the most sophisticated testing can detect the difference and in "real world" use no one will ever notice. They are bleating and moaning over "bragging rights" not real world performance. I have no idea why Apple elected not to support TRIM, but I would bet it was because...
- design compromises elsewhere that implementing TRIM would have required were judged unacceptable
- At the time the design was finalized, remember Apple is always on the bleeding edge, it was deemed unwise
- The incremental performance increase of the entire system was deemed insufficient to warrant the time and cost for development.
- When the design was finalized the technology was not deemed sufficiently mature to adopt it.
- All of the above
- Some of the above
- None of the above (that should hedge all my bets)
