Hello,
I recently purchased a Plextor 256gb Solid State Drive. I am running OS X Yosemite on my mid-2010 unibody Macbook. I backed up my HDD with Time Machine, used SuperDuper to clone my drive, and then installed my SSD. Initially, it worked great. I was able to boot successfully and use the computer like normal. However, after a couple days of using the computer, I went to restart the machine and it was unable to reboot. I then reinstalled OS X from scratch and then transferred over my files. This also worked for one day until when I started the machine and it took me to the default boot screen asking if I wanted to restore from a backup, re-install OS X, or use disk utility. I've gotten this to work in the short term twice now, but I don't want to keep doing it if it's going to fail the following day.
I've read about enabling TRIM support but am hesitant after reading about the potential downsides. Is there any way to get my 3rd party SSD to work in the long run with my machine running Yosemite? Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
Best,
Austin
