Here's an analogy: Think of these SSDs as rechargeable batteries - With life cycles. The more you use them, the faster they degrade. Daily tasks such as cut, copy & paste use up these life cycles.

However by using TRIM, these life cycles can be restored, giving the storage device back it's performance.

Here's the twist, TRIM doesn't support the Raid 0 configuration & this laptop uses it. So you're basically sacrificing unrecoverable lifespan for performance, on monthly basis.

@carlonchox911 I'm thinking of custom ordering with the cheapest HDD so I can replace it with an intel SSD w/ TRIM
