is the lack of TRIM support detrimental to daily users? i installed one for a friend last year and it runs identical a year later as far as i can tell. and he uses it as his main computer. I'm not an expert at this but from wiki: "Although tools to "reset" some drives to a fresh state were already available before the introduction of TRIM, they also delete all data on the drive, which makes them impractical to use for ongoing optimization." So I can clone it sector by sector out onto an external drive, run the wipe tool, put it all back, and gain the performance again?
edit:
this answered it somewhat
senna you should look at the mce optibays (or comparable alternatives) that swaps our your optical drive and put it in a usb enclosure. that way you can have a ~120gb SSD + your WD500BLK.
imo they should really bring back the removable batteries. some ppl leave their computer on to d/l stuff all day. can't imagine what their battery life is like now. maybe the new batteries are that much better.
