SSD TRIM, does it really work?

TRIM is a command that organizes data on a SSD to avoid degradation in performance. My Patriot Pyro 60 GB SSD performance is not much better than my old Hitachi 7200 RPM drive. In fact a boot time with an IDE 5400PRM drive for Windows 7 is less than a minute with an old Dell Precision M60 (Pentium M 1.7GHz, 2GB RAM). On my system with a Core 2 Duo T7500 and 4GB RAM, the boot time with the Pyro SSD is 40 seconds.

Here are the synthetic benchmarks using AS SSD before and after TRIM. TRIM ran automatically for approximately 12 hours.



After TRIM


I have not idea what is going, on. I am afraid the benchmarks are making the drive run even worse!
