[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1661247"] chas_m, did you read Chris Breen's article? He supported what Harry and i said, that Apple does not support TRIM for after-market SSDs, that Trim Enabler from Cindori was a solution to that until Yosemite, when Apple invoked kext signing and killed Trim Enabler. So his suggestion, and what Harry and I have been saying, is that if you want to put in an SSD, get one with a garbage collection process built in, preferable the GC in the SandForce processor. It happens that OWC drives use SandForce. So do Samsung, at least in some SSDs. And in the comments, nobody "corrected" Breen, they just added more drive manufacturers to the list that are using SandForce or claim garbage collection is built in. Nobody found any error in Breen's article that I could find. Just about any and every drive will work fine with Yosemite. But any drive that doesn't have internal garbage collection will eventually slow down. Might not be many out there in that category, but it's a fair warning to a novice looking to upgrade his system.
