    Hey all,

    I've got a question concerning SSDs going with MBPs. I'm aware that OS X doesn't have TRIM support but I've also heard that Macbooks are still able to perform the garbage dumping functions.

    What I would like to know is whether it's true or not. I'm considering buying a SSD to go with my MBP but would rather not have to keep WipeDriving just to maintain my SSD. As you can tell, I'm relatively new to the world of SSDs so a little explanation for this noob would be helpful! :D


    Also I'm planning to bootcamp and VMware Win7 with OS X.
