Just my opinion: you'll be fine without Macrium's trim. The main thing is for the OS to trim because this is a long-term maintenance issue.

Anyway, say St. Francis's prayer and "accept the things you cannot change." Reflect was failing on the operation, so what else could you do? The quality of Macriums trim being used at cloning is probably questionable in your configuration if it couldn't get it to work in the first place.

[BTW: I use Macrium all the time and love it; I am not putting Macrium down in any way.]

As for Linux, I don't dual boot, but I have several Linux distros running under VM's that I run on my SSDs all the time. For Ubuntu, as least, have a look at some issues and discussion here: http://www.howtogeek.com/176978/ubuntu-doesnt-trim-ssds-by-default-why-not-and-how-to-enable-it-yourself/

Oh I can changhe them alright lol- course it’ll muck everything up- but it’ll change for sure :)

I’ll check that link out- thanks-

Yeah the whole trim deal is foreign to me- I can do trim manually in linux, but the problem will be remembering to do it- and I’m not even sure if it really works- I’ll do a trimk, then reboot- and go to do the trim again, and it’s exactly the same size as before I did the trim- (something like 10 gig or so- the trim will say it’s down to 0- but then on reboot it’s right back up there at 10 liek nothign ever happened)
