Or what if your SSD borks it and you're unable to do a secure erase on it? Happened to my wife's laptop. I'm planning on smashing the SSD to ensure the data is destroyed before putting it in recycling.
Completely valid point. The kind of non-technical people wouldn't likely notice any difference in SSD speed anyway. It would be nice if they made it easier for technical people to disable the feature.
