There is a lot of debate on whether or not you actually need TRIM, especially now when a lot of the good SSDs have decent garbage management built in. You will get people to argue both ways. I would go with getting a good drive and not worry about it. If you do decide to use TRIM, be sure to disable it before performing any OS software updates. I've seen many people have problems afterwards of not being able to boot up because of it.
Many people from what I see really like that Samsung. It's suppose to have decent garbage management built in. But I'm not sure if they are putting it in older equipment or with the newer capable of SATA III speed. I, like you only have SATA II on my computer. I decided to go with the OWC 3G SSD because of it. With OWC, they warn you not to put the 6G SSD in certain models with SATA II because it will actually only operate at SATA I speed of 1.5G instead of 3G. You would have to check your model at their website to see how it applies to your computer. Maybe that warning only applies to their drives. I'm not sure how a 6G SSD of another brand would work with SATA II with the speed issue. I would investigate that beforehand or maybe someone with first hand experience will comment on this.
They also advise against enabling TRIM with their drives. They claim their built in software is sufficient to take care of and manage the drive. Their site doesn't say TRIM will hurt their drives, it just says it doesn't need it and doesn't recommend it.
I've been using mine for several months now and love it. I know my speed is limited by my hardware, but it is definitely faster and well worth the expense in my opinion. After the initial installation and given a period of time for the drive to settle in with a good bit of use, I check the speeds on occasion. Each test over several months produce the same results so far. Compared with my original HD, my sustained Read/Write speeds have doubled. Random Read/Write speeds as much as 100 times faster than original drive. My computer boots up in about 20 seconds as opposed to about 80 seconds before.
I also installed the same drive in my son's 2008 MacBook Pro. His only had SATA II capabilities also. His original drive was much slower (5400 rpm) than my iMacs original drive. His speed increase was much greater due to that fact. About 3+ times faster than before on sustained Read/Write.
You won't be disappointed in the upgrade. It will bring new life to your computer.
Note that I only have experience with this one model. So read and evaluate the reviews of others who may have used different brands and may have better insight.
