    According to OCZ's Website it does support Trim. (Under Specs)

    I have the original 60GB Vertex and I have just that...60GB of space. Well, 59.6GB :p

    Another company might spec and advertise their drives as 64GB, 128GB, 256GB etc. but OCZ keeps it real with the consumers :rolleyes: ....and specify/advertize them as the space that you would actually see and be able to use. :)

    Doesn't TRIM also reduce storage space as well? Or am I wrong.

    It doesn't reduce storage space. The OCZ, like most other SSD companies use 32GiB, which translated into computers is around 30GB (decimal vs. binary).

    No, no, no....Trim is a mechanism embedded in the drives firmware that basically performs a type of maintenace on the drives. As you use the drive Trim would act as a garbage collector, and clean up unnecessary files to make space for new ones. Now that was Trim in my own words. You can find much more info. on Trim by doing a google search.
