The 48195K -BAD is referring to your disk alignment, which is out. Use google to search for 'ssd K - BAD' for more info.
BTW, what Windows version are you using, and how did you partition your SSD in the first place?

TRIM's sole purpose is to properly erase those sectors where your files were marked for deletion. Without TRIM, those files will still remain (eventhough you do not see it in Windows/space frees up after deletion) unless overwritten in the future. That's the cause of SSD performance degradation, if it does not have TRIM. It does not help in preserving the wear and tear of the SSD.

The write cycles contributes to the SSD wear and tear. The more you write to it, the faster it's wear and tear. Normally, to prolong the SSD, we have an SSD to solely run Windows/applications on, and another normal HDD to store you files (movies/mp3s/doc etc.) The key here is to limit the number of writes to your SSD.

SSD is not worth for the current price, however it is rather worth on the user's experience. SSD is the single upgrade where users will feel a tremendous difference to the PC than upgrading other components like RAM, etc.

SSD is considered luxury item. If you have extra funds and can afford an SSD, you should go for it.

Bro, can share any other US online IT stores that you know would ship international.
