I cannot speak specifically for the Macintosh side of things however it would appear that TRIM is capable of being passed through IDE. This happens to be through IDE to an MSATA style SSD. I would imagine that this would translate roughly the same in using a program to issue a trim command to the drive if the OS version does not natively support it and if it does I would presume that it would recognize it as an SSD and pass the TRIM command appropriately. :)
