If my memory serves well, TRIM was originally not enabled by default on FreeBSD, because there were many drives that claimed to support it, but didn’t, or didn’t support it properly. That sort of is resolved today and WD Green is supposedly relatively recent drive.
I am not aware of disabling TRIM creating any kind of problem for data consistency or drive longevity, except that it leads to slower writes, as the drive runs out of pre-erased blocks to write to. This is typically more pronounced on “cheaper” drives like this one where there is not much over-provisioning but much less pronounced on “server” drives that keep certain buffer capacity on the driv eunused for precisely that purpose. But why should a drive without TRIM wear more quickly?
