Google is a good one.

Actually it's SSD drives which are better off in a modern OS, which support the TRIM command. Without it the drive can't do proper wear leveling and depending on usage it shortens the life span of the drive.

TRIM is completely unrelated to wear leveling, which is performed entirely by the controller and will work regardless of the OS/device the drive is installed in - nor is TRIM in any way related to the drives lifespan. TRIM is purely performance related, it zeroes out blocks of data that have been tagged as "free" space. Most modern SSDs include a "garbage collection" feature which does the same thing, making TRIM largely irrelevant.
