Today I got an email from Kai, one of many Trim Enabler users. He pointed to a Macbidouille article about how suddently in 10.8.1, all the terminal scripts and copycat software for enabling Trim, had stopped working.

After a quick investigation, I was able to verify that all these solutions had breaked because of a simple change in the OSX Trim driver.

This is why Trim Enabler is superior to these alternatives. It still works fine in 10.8.1.

Since the 2.0 release, Trim Enabler is much more intelligent in regards to patching then these scripts. These other scripts and softwares don’t have the necessary error protection, and some even force apply the patch upon every reboot, without a possibility for updates.

I built Trim Enabler 2.0 with future OSX updates in mind, and it’s working as expected.
In short, Trim Enabler is still the most safe and redundant way to enable Trim. No update required for 10.8.1 :)

Hi
My macbook (mid 2012) with my new samsung 830 serie (512Go) but… it says : “The patch is active but trim is not working. Perhaps your SSD does not support Trim*, or you need to reboot.”

*it support TRIM (in the support doc).

Hi Emanuel

Make sure you dont need to upgrade your SSD firmware in order to get TRIM.

Also, Trim Enabler can report incorrectly if you connect disks in the Superdrive slot.

hi Luca
I have the same thing, but it’s not because of your laptop it’s because of the ssd. Trim enabler stil speeds up your ssd but it’s not supported for additional information.

I hope I answered your question.

Nice name by the way

Hello

Have a:
MBP 17 mid 2010 ML 10.8.2 8GB RAM
OCZ Agility2 320GB (for all data)
Trim Enabler 2.2 installed

Trim support works after reboot, and can also be shut down again by the slide, having effect also after reboot. (system report)

In use for 2 weeks…no probs yet …… :-)

boot: 13-15 sec
System shut down: 17-20 sec
Suspend to RAM: <1 sec
wake up from RAM: <1 sec

Power Management:
I set pmmet to "0" (no hibnernation to SSD, only supend to RAM)
Q: Is this real necessary for a long SSD life?
I close the lid of may MBP between 5-15 Times a Day …..or its a mare ?

S.M.A.R.T works, but:

-Trim enabler 2.2 App must be shut down and restartet to refreh shown data (Trim still on)
-Temperature ist allways on 30 degrees, no variation here. iI thinks its not working .
-ERROR Count is instabile,showing Zero or X-Millons of Errors in change…tink this part is unusable yet.

-rest is working fine. :-)

Hello,

2011 Macbook pro 15″”, 8 GB RAM, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Samsung SSD Series 840 Pro with 512 GB. It was no possible to enable TRIM by using the TRIM Enabler, neither by re-install nor by restart the system. TRIM, as reported both by TRIM Enabler and system information, was not active.

Searching for a solutionI found a helpful hint here: https://gist.github.com/clarencesong/3768688

It works at once. Now both, TRIM Enabler and System information reports that TRIM is active and works. Don’t know what was the problem but I want to give you the hint here.

Pingback: After 10.8.3, I can't get TRIM working

Thomas says:

I installed 10.8.3 today and afterwards TRIM was disabled – is this normal that I need it to run after every SW Update?
