Now is that a good brand? Yes, I was thinking of updating to yosemite and not use TRIM enabler at all and I am sure it will work fine. Find the SATA section in the menu and locate the hard drive you want to enable TRIM on. I used it when it was needed, but then Apple added that.

In the description, you’ll see a line telling you whether TRIM support is present or not. In my case, it says YES because I have already enabled TRIM. But I have read a lot of articles which say not using TRIM enabler affects SSDs life & efficiency and slows down the system in long run. I am not an expert but definitely do a lot of online research and this is what I have learnt so far. Although I am not sure what is the difference in life of SSD between a TRIM enabled and TRIM disabled system. If your research hasn't included this article, it's worth a read because it gets into, among other things, how SSD's differ from HD's, and how TRIM helps compensate for that difference. As to the Adata, here's a review of that which is of special interest because of the apparent similarity to the Crucial M550. I'm using both an OWC SSD, which refuses to make use of TRIM because OS X sees it as a "rotational" drive (internally, it's a RAID configuration which doesn't support TRIM), and a Crucial M500, which works fine with TRIM, and which has shown no loss of performance during a year of use, perhaps because of assistance from TRIM.Īs to "sacrificing the security features on mac," keep in mind that the TRIM Enabler/Yosemite conflict started with Yosemite and only the security feature introduced with Yosemite is affected.
