This may be ok now but below is the kind of thing
that makes me wary - especially when it's just a
simple patch perl or any hex editor can easily do
(replacing "APPLE SSD" with nulls in the driver).

| After a little inspection of this application,
| I found that instead of patching the file, it
| replaces an entire kernel extension. This means
| that when you use TRIM Enabler with Lion, it
| replaces a critical kernel extension, with lots
| of dependencies, with an older one (from Snow
| Leopard 10.6.8). This is bad. Very bad. While
| TRIM does become enabled, the kernel extension
| you now have has the potential to cause a ton
| of problems. That means anything from kernel
| panics, to disk I/O delays...and the dreaded
| spinning beach ball.

| trolling and spreading fear (even though I
| offered the alternative I share here).
| Apparently, the next version of TRIM Enabler
| will correctly patch the file, instead of
| replacing it [...]
