    TRIM questions

    I am looking for an external SSD / 40Gpbs Enclosure primarily to use with macos but after researching a lot I am still confused about the current status of TRIM. 1) If macos (Sequoia) does not support TRIM over USB then how does Samsung (T series) or other brands external SSDs support this...

    Necessary to set TRIM manually on upgraded < 2013 MacBook Pro?

    I am wondering, whether I need to set TRIM manually on Macs I have upgraded from having hard drives to SSDs? I know that at least several years ago, this was not automatically turned on. With the later APFS-based version of macOS, however, will TRIM be enabled on SSDs automatically?

    2021 MacBook Pro display trim piece

    Some folks have noticed that the black trim piece underneath the display is "wavy" or appears to not be glued properly. Looks like the display cables the run underneath this trim piece are causing it to be wavy. iFixit provides a better view...

    Enabling TRIM on a specific external SSD on an M1 mac (Big Sur 11.3)

    Hello. I'd like to know if it was possible to enable TRIM for a specific external SSD on an M1 mac (specifically a mac mini M1 2020 with macOS Big Sur 11.3). Even a paid app would be good; Basically I'd like to avoid the onboard SSD of the mac being affected. Thank you very much.

    New SSD Formatted As APFS - Trim Always? Slow Boot and Performance?

    I picked up a 500GB SSD for my Early 2011 MacBook Pro and upgraded to High Sierra, which reformatted the SSD to APFS. I plan to not completely fill my disk and keep the usage under 80%. I’ve read many posts on how enabling trim has caused slow boot times and performance in APFS. Is that still...

    Recommend a frame-accurate smart video cutter/trimmer

    Hi, I want to cut/trim the commercials out of .ts and .mp4 files that I have DVR'd. It needs to be smart (only re-encoding the frames between the cut-point and the next key-frame). The closest that I can find that meets this criteria is: SmartCutter - but it crashes (costs £ 50 but has not...

    macos does not know the type of external storage?

    Hi, is here a discussion about this already? I have a WD ssd in external case and Disk Utility tells that the type is "Disk" (not "Solid State"). Is there a reason to think about trim command? Is there external ssd's that are identified right? System Information tells, that my case is: VLI...

    Can I verify SSD TRIM status on Macbook Air 2018?

    In the past, I could verify SSD TRIM status by reviewing the SATA/SATA Express line in the system information feature. On my Macbook Air 2018, it says, "This computer doesn't contain any serial ATA devices." On the storage line, it says I have an Apple APFS Media SSD PCI-Express but nothing...

    TRIM support for external Thunderbolt SSD

    I was under the (mis?)impression that under Mojave, TRIM was supported for external SSDs connected via Thunderbolt. I have a 2015 27" iMac running 10.14.3, with a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure with a Samsung 850 EVO SSD. System report says that TRIM is NOT supported. Is there something I need to do...

    Overprovisioning?

    My last system SSD died after two years of heavy use. Some reports indicate that overprovisioning has benefits. But it seems like as long as trim is enabled and the drive is left with a lot of free space the same impact is achieved. I am using dual MX500 2TB for system and data formatted APFS...

    APFS + TRIM slows down some SSDs

    Let's try make a report here with make and models of the SSDs affected by boot and r/w slow downs. I have a 256Gb 840 EVO. HS w/ supplemental update and trim enabled takes 47 seconds from chime to desktop (auto login). I will add the time later with TRIM disabled. Macmini late 2014 2.6Ghz.
