The operating system does not use TRIM or care about TRIM data it is only ATA interfaced SSD drives that use the data. Peter Blaise, TRIM is a manufacturer specific ATA command used on SSD drives its purpose is not to help the operating system but to help the garbage collection and wear-leveling routines in the SSD drive to know when a previously written sectors worth of SSD memory cells is no longer needed and can be placed back into the pool of free memory cells to be erased and then used again in the next wear leveling firmware write to avoid leaving deleted clusters that are free to be reused outside the pool of spare memory cells and eventually exaustng that pool of free memory cells.
