If you don't enable TRIM, then I would suggest unchecking "Put hard drive to sleep when possible" in the Energy System System Preferences. This will allow the SSD's internal Garbage Collection routines time to run whenever the SSD is idle. It may also help if the SSD has trouble after the laptop wakes from sleep.
