Are there any plans for a SSD Toolbox for Mac?
The SSD Toolbox for Windows does not support HFS+ (the Mac file system), so even if run on a Boot Camp Windows installation next to Mac OS X it does not optimize Mac partitions using TRIM... 😞

What's stopping Intel from providing support for their SSDs in OS X, via a utility?
Surely it can't be seriously argued that Apple will prevent Intel from providing TRIM functionality via a utility because it sells Samsung SSDs in its largely Intel computers...?
Certainly, I agree that it's ideal to have OS-level support. But, I think the minimum acceptable level of support is for Intel to provide even a basic command-line utility that a user can run the TRIM command on HFS+ volumes with. In fact, I wouldn't be opposed to a bootable USB keychain device image containing such a utility. Anything is preferable to the current situation with absurd kludge like periodically writing an entire drive with 1s.

Hello,
I am another proud owner of an Intel X25-M Postville SSD and I am currently using it in my macbook. I would really like to see the Intel SSD Toolbox being able to deal with Snow Leopard!

Does intel x25 have trash collection in the firmware? I have read that if your ssd does then then above software for mac will actually slow you down

from my understanding, it do garbage collection at the background
