Recently bought 2 of those DELL/Samsung 50GB SSDs from Microcenter. Wanted to image an existing system and restore to the SSD.

I used CrystalDisk info tool to check the features supported by the SSD and found it doesn't support TRIM.

Have seen few reviews about the benefits of TRIM.

So if I anyway install the OS, how bad of impact will it be considering I will be going from IDE HDD to this SSD.

Is there manual TRIM commands/Utilities that will be useful?

I tried the Samsung Magician tool and it says non-samsung SSD (may be because of DELL branding?)

Am I missing something because your system specs says your OS drive is a Patriot TorqX SSD.

I would not have bought an SSD so old it does not support TRIM. You can manually clean the disk which would effectively just reset all the unused areas to 0 if there was data on there. This would have to be done whenever the disk slows down due to use. This is annoying.

Personally I say take those back, get your money and buy a decent 120 GB or large SSD from Microcenter or newegg.com or whatever. They are not that expensive any more and many can be found for less than $1 a GB.

This is for the family machine. Yeah I can do like you said, but for some reason I feel like SSD prices are going back up and HDD prices are coming down.

Anyway I wanted to upgrade 2 machines (not my main machine tho) and this one was $35 each and thought perfect for OS. I don't mind running manually some tool to get back the performance (slight annoyance but should be ok).

The better deal would be OCZ Agility 3 60GB

Than you should be good to go. If these are for "normal" people you can just put in a second standard HDD and re-route the My personal files folder to it, and never have to worry about it.

And SSD prices are never going back up.
