I think my SSD is getting a bit slower with time. I think it just might be the case, if TRIM is not supported by my version of Ubuntu.

I have an Intel 520 SSD in a Thinkpad laptop.

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit and I'm going to do a fresh install of 14.04 LTS 64-bit. While doing a reinstall, could I somehow 'reset' an SSD to its pristine state, thus restoring its performance?

Do a re-install with format and this will be taken care of.

14.04 will have trim installed by default. It will be turned off by default since only specific intel and samsung ssd have been tested and have been confirmed working (they took the cautious route here: if it was not confirmed working it is not activated).

More on the inner workings (setup, activate and commands) here: Do I need to enable TRIM if I have a non-Intel/Samsung
