Trim on third-party SSDs

[Courageous]

Has anyone enabled trim on third-party ssds and have had any problems? I would like to enable it but was a bit cautious because of the warning that's displayed. Is it worth the risk of data loss?

I've done it on 3 macs I upgraded without any problems.

I did it on a 2011 MBP with no SSD problems.

No issues on 2011 iMac with Samsung 840.

Thanks for the responses. I'll enable it then.

No issues on 2006 Mac Pro with El Capitan and a 3rd party SSD. Haven't tested Sierra for obvious reasons.

Many, Many threads on this. And Yes, I have 5 SSDs. All of them Samsung. 1 SM951, 1 840 Pro, 2 840 EVOs, and 1 840. 3 on PCIe cards, 2 in drive bays. All working perfectly with TRIM enabled. cMP 5,1.

My advice, however, stay away from anything OWC offers.

Just a question:

better activate Trim (by apple) in ElCapitan or stay with Trim enabler by Cindori?

What do you think?

I use Samsung 840, 840Pro 840 eve, and 850 eve, 850Pro as well...

Since Apple allows you to enable with "sudo trimforce enable" starting with Yosemite, there really isn't any reason to use Trim Enabler for this.

Really doesn't matter. Both do the same thing. But, Apple's method is free. Trim Enabler came out before Apple made it possible to enable TRIM with a Terminal Command.

done.
stopped TrimEnabler, activated "Trimforce" (after backup).
It´s really that simple. But how uninstall TrimEnabler? Did not find any Uninstaller...
Do you recommend to use "appCleaner" V 3.4?
