Yeah - just installed 10.8.5 and it disabled it again. Mine had probably been off since 10.8/4...

Trim Enabler has an option to warn if it is disabled - but that doesn't seem to do anything for me.

ditto, thanks for the reminder, mine was off as well, I just updated to 10.8.5 about two weeks ago and didn't think to check it.

for the OP, I have been running a 128gb Samsung 840 Pro in my 09 mbp and it has been working very in conjunction with moving the 500gb wd blue hd I was working with to the optibay. I would recommend it.

Angelbird SSD for Mac w/ native TRIM support

Hello All,

I'm new to the forum as well as owning a MacBook Pro. I'm thinking of upgrading my hard drive for a SSD. I have a late 2011 MBP with a toshiba 500HDD drive. I mostly use the laptop to edit my go pro videos. I searched the forum and internet for awhile and am having a hard time deciding which SSD i should use? how do I know which ones are compatible with my MBP? (SATA, TRIM....etc).

Main reasons I'm looking to upgrade is the increased speed and no moving parts so LESS noise! (toshiba HDD kinda loud IMO). Plan on editing my videos and then storing them on a external hard drive or enclosure.

So basically, which SSDs will work with my laptop and which do you recommend?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction!

Thanks

I´d get this one as a system disk as it claims to have native Mac TRIM Support so there is no hassle with setting up a Trim Enabler..
