This was added ca. around Win 8.x or 10, if memory serves.
For Vista/7, the situation is a hybrid one, which makes stuff even worse. If you change from a 512-byte drive to an 'advanced format' (native 4k, emulated 512b), you can go through a lot of crap:

Wow! Thanks a lot for the link! I had no idea it's that worse on Vista.

Hey guys, at the time you discussed it, there was already solution, even for MS-DOS TRIM SSD. I'm using it on Pentium III for Win98 and DOS gaming: http://lonecrusader.x10host.com/rloew/trim.html
