3rd Party SSD which support 10.10.4 TRIM

[joe-h2o]

No evidence, just logic. What's your logic, because I know you don't have evidence to the contrary?

My evidence, albeit anecdotal because it's one data point, is my use of TRIM on a third party SSD under Mavericks for 2.5 years with no data loss or corruption, despite the warnings that haven't changed since that time.

The reason Apple didn't enable it by default for third party SSDs was that this warning has always been the case and Apple simply wanted to take no part in claiming the feature was a supported part of OS X on anything other than Apple-supplied drives.

Nothing has changed at all since then, except that now Apple has explicitly included the command without needing to use a third party tool and has made the warning that it always had more clear when you switch it on that says "we don't support this, use at your own risk".

After 2.5 years I think I can pretty safely say that the C400-MTFDDAC128MAM Crucial drive in my external thunderbolt case works just fine with TRIM.

SSD: Crucial C400-MTFDDAC128MAM
Revision: 000F
Bus: Thunderbolt

Status: TRIM enabled under 10.10.4, previously enabled under Mavericks since I bought the drive in December 2012.

Samsung 850 Pro FW EXM01B6Q seems to work fine.

I think it's silly to have a list of drives that support TRIM. It would basically be "almost all of them".

A much better list would be of which SSDs do not support TRIM on OS X.

Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB running fine, I had been running it with trim enabler before also.

I agree that this thread is silly. I know of no SSDs that don't support Trim on the Mac or windows. Linux is another matter.

Not being a wiseguy, but I don't understand why people read and post in threads they think are silly.

Just enabled "trimforce". The SSD being less than 1 month old, never had trim before.
Crucial MX200 SSD 500GB rebooted fine, and so far so good.

edit:
note that I deleted my previous comment on "disappeared" space, because I was mislead by the hidden files space, that does not show, but counts for the totals.

Can anyone check this LaCie Thunderbolt SSD?

I have no problems since enabling trim with trimforce on my LaCie thunderbolt SSD.

Seagate 600
240GB
Model: ST240HM000
Revision: C675

No problems.

So does any of you nice people know if the function of this command is in any way different from enabling TRIM using Cindori's Trim Enabler? Meaning if one works without issues, does the other also?

I'll provide data on a Samsung 830 if you can put me at ease as to any differences between the two methods.
Thanks!

Anyone...............anyone.........???

- A person here claims to know it's exactly the same. And I tend to think the same.

You can add two hdd's which is works fine:

Corsair Force 3 60 GB
Crucial BX100 500 GB

 

[flowrider]

^^^^Just for clarification - The two devices you mention are SSDs not HDDs. TRIM has no effect on HDDs.

I thought it would be a good idea to have a list of SSD's that are known to work after enabling TRIM using the "sudo trimforce enable" terminal command.

I have a Crucial M4-CT512M4SSD2 firmware 040H and haven't been brave enough to try it yet

So do you know now if TRIM is ok to enable on M4-CT512M4SSD2. Please share.

I am very interested in this thread. However I do not understand why the Crucial M and the Samsung 8 series are set good to go as the report clearly stated these had errors. I agree the report handled linux using ext2. Then again mac also is a unix based device. Has another file system though.

Anyhow which is the preferred SSD besides Samsung and Crucial?

The problems with TRIM and Samsung drives were due to a bug in the Linux kernel. There are no issues with enabling TRIM on them in OS X.

Did you ever find an answer to this question?

I just switched my O 10.10.5 OS X to a Samsung EVO 850 500GB and moved my Crucial m4 512GB to a WIN 10 volume. I have trim force enabled under OS X with the Samsung but wonder about turning it on for WIN 10 on the Crucial.

I have been using TRIM with a Crucial SSD for a little bit now in my mini without an issues. I used the trim force enable to do it.

 

[Bytehoven]

Thanks. When I check Windows 10, trim force is automatically enabled so I have just left as is.
