That can happen in iPhones too. Anything with Flash memory, actually. I had a song in my iTunes library on my iPhone and every time it would get to the exact same spot in the song it would lock up for a few seconds then iTunes would just die, like I had quit it. Only that one song too. To correct the problem I had to wipe the iPhone and do a complete restore. Now everything works again.
Got a tip for us?

Yes I agree with you.
Personally I embrace change, been using SSD's since Apple began shipping them in new 15" MBP Retina models I use for work.
Now years and lots of heavy use later my experience has been stellar. Fast and reliable I only think of them when I see a thread appear in this forum...

I agree,
I have been using ssds since 2009, i have experienced over 16 different ssds, from 64gb-500gb
including:
ocz vertex 2/3/max iops
owc mercury extreme
crucials m3/m4
corsair f40
samsung 840s

only issues i ever experienced were with the older sandforce gen 2s
- TRIM has never been supported on third party SSDs in OS X...
But the situation in Yosemite is worse than before.
Third party TRIM from sources like Cindori (TRIM enabler) won't work because the kernel won't allow it to load. It will, however, work on Mavericks and earlier OS releases.
Get rekt.
All you need to do is just disable kext signing and TRIM Enabler will work on Yosemite.
That's correct. I should have been clearer and stated that by default the TRIM enabler won't work.

Some people won't know how to do that sort of stuff.
- Which is also incorrect. Trim Enabler does all that for you with a few mouse clicks.
Well, all righty then:

I don't use Yosemite because I think it sucks. Bugs galore, it looks like it was designed by a five year old, and it's resource intensive for no apparent reason. Also, NVRAM contents are known to become corrupt.
Be sure to put me in my place.
I disagree with you....
but I can't put you in your place for personal preference. I love Yosemite, cleaner looking UI that looks great on the retina screens; with a load of extra little bits that make interconnection with my other devices easy whats not to like??

My comment wasn't directed at you, it was directed at JTToft.
Everyone has different opinions. If you like Yosemite, go with it.
Having to disable a security feature to use a common device driver is a bad idea. It strikes me as a shot by Apple on do-it-yourselfers. I really don't think it would be rocket science for Apple themselves to make TRIM support of their own available to third party products.
