Should I Enable Trim If my SSD is Formatted as APFS?

[Marcosmg]

My SSD is Samsung Pro 512GB and I'm under Mojave.

Thanks

Have you checked to see if TRIM has already been enabled?

You can do that in the System Report.

It says "NO" under system profile

How is it connected to the Mac? SATA3 internal connection? USB3? Thunderbolt?

SATA3

Is it inside a 2012 Mac mini then? And is the drive formatted with APFS or HFS+?

Here's a link to use at your own risk (that link mentions issues with certain Samsung SSDs). Make sure you have a backup first.

The Trim issues with Samsung drives were specific to Linux (there's no longer a problem with linux either at this point) and have never shown to be an issue on Macs. I'd enable trim without any concern on a Mac, regardless of how the disk is formatted.

Thank you so much
