For me to enable TRIM under W7 on my SSD I needed to do two things.

1) I needed to update the firmware on the SSD which involved downloading an ISO image, burning it to CD, then booting that CD. The shipped firmware that the drive came with did not support TRIM operation.

2) I needed to install the intel SSD toolbox software which allowed me to set a schedule to run the TRIM operation. I scheduled it to run once a week as recommended. As far as I know, W7 only performs TRIM on intel SSD's if you are also running an intel brand mobo, else you need to utilise the toolbox software.

Your method of implementing TRIM may be different for other brands and O/S, but I thought I would post here as a reference incase it was useful to some.
