Does that apply to all SSDs? From what I gather TRIM is just a spec for formalized OS-level garbage collection hooks. Some disks (like Apple-installed Samsungs) do GC at the disk-level.

My Sandforce (Vertex 2) has disk-level GC (as well as TRIM), and sometimes will block for a long period on writes now on OSX... I haven't tried it on a different OS yet.
