Best Answer
Yes, but you have to enable it manually by adding the discard option to your /etc/fstab like so:
Also the purpose of TRIM is to prevent a decrease in write throughput of the drive after much use, not to prevent it from wearing out. I have been using a drive for over a year without TRIM and have yet to suffer any performance loss, so IMHO, it is much ado about nothing.
