Heh.. and obviously not a great idea for when NTFS adds new features someday..

For general purpose GC, the OCZ firmware does NOT know anything about which blocks are free. Rather, it simply does what the Intel SSDs do: shuffles blocks around to create erase-sized blocks of free space.

All of these drives permanently reserve a few percent of raw capacity for GC/spares, so there is always some free space.

With TRIM, the drives then *do* know about real free space, and in theory can do an even better job of things.
