This program works great. Samsung 840 Pro SSD now has trim function on without using the terminal function.
I still backed-up the original settings using terminal prior to using SSD Optimizer though, just in case something went wrong.
Thanks for the links!
I have a pair of 840 Pro's in RAID 0 as my boot drive. How did you back up the settings from terminal and how can I ensure TRIM is enabled on my drives. I don't really want to break the stripe to change the settings.
Thanks in advance.
Most, if not all, of your questions are answered in this thread:Apart from enabling TRIM (which I can do through TRIM Enabler, I am not sure what the following do (or should be set to)?
Sudden Motion Sensor
Disable Local TM
NOA Time
Set sleep mode
What are the best settings for these options, and more importantly what do the settings do.
Sorry for the basic questions but I cannot find too much on this app.
I have a MBA with an Apple SSD (SM Model) and a MMi7QuadCore with an OCZ Agility 3 in it so I want to make sure the SSD's are working to their full potential.

Dsisclaimer: I got these commands from various posts here on the forum, and cannot give credit where it is due, but thanks to all those who contributed. Don't you just love this forum?I should apologize also because my tech skills respecting my late 2012 MBP 17" are limited. Had my Apple 256 gig SSD professionally replaced with a Samsung 500gig SSD 840 EVO yesterday. Discovered Chameleon App shortly thereafter and after reading virtually all of threads related to SSD's and this app, I understand all of it's features except the following:
Is this a "use it once" and turn it off because once it's settings have been implemented, it's OK to quit? Yes If not, when/how often should I use it in the open mode?
I believe I understand the NOATime switch. Appears to me that the best advice here is turn it off to save space and improve speed, not that speed/space really matters any more with an SSD.. Right?
NO. Turn ON noatime to save space and improve speed. See the various links here https://www.google.com/search?q=no+a+time&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t#q=noatime
Tell me about the Set Sleep Mode. Since my drive has no moving parts and I do not operate on battery, I typically set my MBP to never sleep. Given this preference, does the Sleep Set Mode have an relevance to me?
Not sure.
I use the terminal commands available to adjust the "Sleep Set Mode" which is actually the hybernation mode: I.e., the sleep tools section of Chameleon is not really clear enough, although an explanation is clearly impossible in the limited interface space available, See the attached info at the end of this post. I use hybernation mode 0, but the default mode 3, and the options available in the System Preferences should work fine for most people/usage situations.
Thanks for your help on this. I appreciate the detailed information on this subject on this thread and others, but for me it all boils down to three simple questions.
Is this a "use it once" and turn it off because once it's settings have been implemented, it's OK to quit? If not, when/how often should I use it in the open mode?
