That changed in 2010 with enterprise core designed controllers which targeted RAID setups where TRIM interface wasn't even a possibility - but was ideal for the Mac platform where there initially was no TRIM support. In the early days of SSD, the drive controllers simply did not have the horsepower to do the block management necessary for the I/O capability available.
It's always been a crutch and in the simplest terms it's a means for the controller to hand off work load to the computer's processor. It's a tough crowd here and none the less always appreciate the feedback and discussion. Both drives are available from the OWC website and will begin shipping out at the end of March.

Global Wear-Leveling - A global wear-leveling algorithm helps evenly distribute data across your SSD cells, extending the life of your drive by preventing any section of flash from getting worn out prematurely.
Superior Error Correction - Three-level error correction with low-density parity checks provides significantly improved reliability, and RAID-like protection for your data.Ĭell-Level Data Refresh - Aura's powerful embedded processor monitors and re-writes data blocks as needed to maintain correct charge at the cell level, improving the integrity of your data and extending the life of your drive.
