Osx trim enabler9/16/2023 The OWC installation video was invaluable. My intent is to get the boost in System Speed by making it my boot drive. I just finished my OWC Data Doubler installation upgrading my mac mini late 2012 i5 with an Electra 6g 60GB drive. The typical consumer may not ever seek to do kext edits for special function additions, but it’s disappointing to be restricting this avenue for those more advanced and/or hobbyists.įor more on TRIM and why our advanced OWC SSDs don’t need it, check out this post on the Rocket Yard: /blog/21641-with-an-owc-ssd-theres-no-need-for-trim After following the listed steps, you should now be back in OS X with Trim disabled.Īlthough OWC SSDs do not need TRIM to delivery consistent performance and longevity, we do see this change in Yosemite as another restrictive layer being added by Apple and that in of itself can be concerning. The fix can be found at under the heading “Reversing any changes by Trim Enabler”. However, if you did not do so, there is a command line fix available. If you’ve chosen to enable TRIM for use with an SSD not manufactured by Apple or OWC, we advise that you disable TRIM before upgrading to Yosemite to ensure your machine will boot properly after the install is finished. However, if you are running a system with TRIM Enabler and you upgrade your Mac to OS X Yosemite, your machine will not boot after the install finishes due to the new Kext signing requirement in Yosemite – all kexts (drivers) now need to be approved/signed by Apple. Essentially, if you are using an OWC SSD, there is no need for TRIM. We’ve talked on the Rocket Yard about using TRIM with OWC SSDs before.
