Does Mountain Lion support TRIM on non-apple SSD's?

Getting your data off that drive might be a trick. If valuable,
DriveSavers might be worth checking out. They essentially take the
platters out of your drive and put them into a working drive case in a
sealed incubator, then read your data off. Means keeping a fare number
of working drive cases on hand, thus the overhead expense and the cost
passed to us as customers who shudda used TimeMachine ;-)
Ok, assuming you get your data, next is the drive. I bought an SDD
Crucial M4 256GB and stepped down from a 750. I cleaned up my disk and
have some 70GB now with all my stuff on the SSD. Best decision I have
made in gear in a long time.
Now my MacBook boots up nearly 4x faster and takes easily 50% less from
the battery. Because Unix is hamstrung by a file based design;
everything is a file and disk speed is paramount. With the SSD, I would
say the system feels like a brand new Mac during all operations now. Was
going to get a Retina Mac but now the speed feels so good, I can wait
another year.
