[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1712799, member: 307555"] Most SSDs today come with some sort of a TRIM system built into the firmware. OWC and Crucial drives have such a system. I am not sure who else does so you might do a bit of research on what ever you select. Prior to Yosemite 10.10.4, you could use a utility called TRIM Enabler that would disable the feature that checked to see if you were using an OEM Apple SSD and then turn on trim. While it worked, you had to remember to turn it off for major updates or your system would hang, requiring a lot of steps and hassle to get it back to running right. This article explains it well and tells you how to enable TRIM if your SSD does not have a built in system, but you will only be able to do so with Yosemite and El Capitan. For some reason only known to Apple, the prevented that in Mavericks. [url]http://www.howtogeek.com/222077/how-to-enable-trim-for-third-party-ssds-on-mac-os-x/[/url] Lisa [/QUOTE]
