    You should be able to force flash it but bear in mind you will void any warranty with Dell.

    I did one on a earlier Dell SSD, but that was a custom mod firmware flash.

    Google it you may get lucky.

    oops I will repost the info here

    The Samsung firmware did work on the 470 series before,

    Also it should already support Trim

    Run CrystakDiskInfo and it should show TRIM on the Features Line
