So that means I can just enable it from terminal, and there is no risk. You can read the man page from terminal, copy & paste: System_profiler SPSerialATADataType | grep 'TRIM' Trimforce status from terminal, copy & paste: The SSD doesn’t need to immediately delete or garbage collect these locations it just marks them as no longer valid. This results in a reduction of the number of erase cycles on the flash memory and enables higher performance during writes. The advantage of the TRIM command is that it enables the SSD’s GC (garbage collection) to skip the invalid data rather than moving it, thus saving time not rewriting the invalid data. If yes, should I use this command on terminal: I want an expert opinion on this, Is it really advisable to enable TRIM? Some are saying enabling it can cause data loss issues, some are saying you have to do it for better performance. My stock HDD died, so I bought a new Samsung 850 EVO 500GB.ĭrive is installed in the system, but I am reading about the TRIM support on third-party SSD's, and I am really confused.

I have a MacBook Pro 13" (Mid 2012) with i7, 8GB RAM and OS X El Capitan/macOS Sierra installed.
