the sw I use to clone handle sector alignment, I understood what he
was talking about.

He is referring to sector alignment not TRIM which deals with
deleted files clean up. Back when SSDs first became available people
were cloning them from their hard drives to SSDs. Imaging software
was not set up to handle this. They put images on sectors as a
physical hard drive imposed on a SSD, and the sectors are different
so the alignment of the cloned SSD was off.
Paragon offered a free tool to which would align your drive for you.
I used it and it fixed the alignment but I never noticed any
difference. The best way to avoid this is just format the drive in
windows 7 or 8 and then install the OS. I am guessing that imaging
software like Acronis now makes the adjustment automatically and
this has become a non issue.

depending on the SW used that is done on the fly.

Wasn't there something about having to align the sectors to get
the fastest operation. With both of my SSDs, I did the copy over
(too much to reload), so that is supposedly not aligning the sectors.
