SSDs have been out for a few years, and have seen all kinds of usage patterns. Windows and Linux support the TRIM command, with Mac OS still trailing behind here. Update (2011): It appears OSX Snow Leopard has support for TRIM in Apple-branded SSDs. There is a utility that enables TRIM in non-Apple SSDs
I'm sure plenty of Mac users (and pre-TRIM version of Win/Linux) have SSDs. So, to you folks: have you noticed a degradation of SSD performance during its lifetime? How long have you been using the SSD, and how bad is the degradation?
I'm assuming that even at its most degraded state, a modern SSD would still smoke a traditional hard drive in terms of performance.
1Most USB SATA enclosures still don't support TRIM in 2019. – Calmarius – 2019-10-05T13:52:49.767
