OWC has some real-world data showing no significant speed reduction in their SSDs over a 3 year time-period.
But that data is a little old.
I'd like to see some recent data comparing these firmware and TRIM solutions.
TRIM happens in addition to firmware-based garbage collection-- it's not an either-or. If you don't understand how TRIM complements garbage collection, I'm guessing you may want to bone up on what the terms mean exactly. I'm not seeing why you would not want to have something enabled that can extend the life of your drive.
