New SSD on a MBP. Should I activate TRIM ?

[Totally Bored]

and how do I do it ?

So I have a 2012 MBP 13" and I installed a Samsung EVO 850 1TB SSD.
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to do it. I cloned the drive on my iMac that has El Capitan. Was pretty easy but now I'm reading about TRIM and I'm a bit confused. I know its about garbage collection kinda sorta but is it gonna speed up my MBP and what else will it do ?


FWIW, the 2012 MBP works fine but my late 2104 iMac seems much faster.



Thanks in advance.

Yes, you should. It will maintain the SSD and keep performance up.

Open Terminal and run the following:

sudo trimforce enable

Sorry for the dumb question but...

How do I "Open Terminal" and...

Do I type ...
sudo trimforce enable

or do I type

sudo trimforce enable

Sorry

- That's fair.

Terminal is an application on your Mac. You can find it using Spotlight search by hitting Cmd + Space. Just enter "Terminal".
Once open, you should type in or copy the three "words" I posted, hit Enter, and type your password. I put it in the box to separate it from the rest of my post.
