I purchased the pro version of enabler..and I was wondering if i need to open up the app in order to activate trim or do i just leave "on" switch and quit app.
Could someone answer this question? thank you.

Keep the app somewhere tho - typically os updates reverts it back again andyou will need to rerunit.
 
I have the Crucial M4-CT512M4SSD2 on my 4.1, should I use the enabler? I read somewhere it is not recommended on this drive. Anybody have tested this?

I'd like to see where they said that having no trim is a good idea on an M4. M4's had some issues with very early firmware but have been fine ever since.

Trim will only work on ssds that are connected to the sata port on your logicboard

That is incorrect. TRIM also works fine on SSD drives connected to a PCIe SSD card as my Samsung 250GB EVO connected to an Apricorn card and used as a start-up and Applications drive confirms. The SSD runs at SATAIII speed, BTW.

Further, it also works fine on SSDs connected to the cables in the optical drive area. I have one SATAII SSD there and another SATAII SSD in one of the four regular backplane board sockets, the two striped in RAID0 to get SATAIII speeds from these older SATAII drives. TRIM works fine on this RAID0 pair.

The discussions are back and forth. Here is a recent one: http://www.groths.org/forums/topic/te-pro-always-crashes/

I just noticed I'm running 040H. Is it worth updating the firmware?

If the firmware has been tested by others before me and it seems fine I always update.

Never had a problem with the M4's in the many MBP's Ive fitted them in and a half dozen fitted to Mac Pro's. Kingston on the other hand is a different story. 😡
