trim

Enable TRIM on OS X 10.6.7

Duncan Epping · Mar 28, 2011 ·

Thanks to Jason Nash’s article I managed to finally get TRIM enabled for my SSD on my MAC. The procedure works great, however when you have a dual SSD setup like I have (booting on a 120GB Intel and running my VMs on a 256GB Kingston) it doesn’t work as replacing the identifier leaves you with 1 SSD without TRIM support. I googled around for a bit and found this article by Oskar Groth. Oskar made a nice GUI tool that enables TRIM for you on all SSDs that your Mac contains! Be aware that this is a hack and there is no support whatsoever for this. So why would you add it? Well look at the test that Jason did, and I also did some testing and the preliminary findings are that it vastly improves your performance!
