Yeah, that same process is not working for my mid-2011 11" MBA. I'm fine w/o trim for now but hoping it gets sorted.
Got a tip for us?

That's weird. I had to repeat the process to get it to work, because the first time it gave me some error about a missing driver. What are you seeing?
Has anyone tried it yet with Disk Sensei, the successor to Trim Enabler?
Edit, I guess not. See this:
https://www.cindori.org/forums/topic/trim-enabler-with-os-x-el-capitan/
However, I am assuming the Manual Trim command will work.

I'm not seeing anything that would suggest it shouldn't work as far as any error messages. I enter terminal commands, reboot. Launch TRIM Enabler. Turn on TRIM, reboot. TRIM Enabler says TRIM is not active. I checked System Report to confirm that TRIM is not enabled ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wow, I don't know what to say... but I'm optimistic that TRIM Enabler can be officially updated to work with El Capitan. Hopefully some other people try this out and let us know what happens for them.
TRIM is perfectly working with on 10.11
Just type in the Terminal window:
or if you'd also like to disable swapping:
and then enable TRIM with any app like TRIM Enabler or Disk Sensei
A little addition for those, who wants to profit of the high level of security in OS X 10.11 aka RootLess(Parano-mode
).
After verifying that TRIM is successfully enabled you might want remove the rootless backdoor, because it becomes useless for TRIM normal functionning. To do so just type in Terminal
or
respectively. That's it. Now, That's exactly Yosemite-like
To revert:
disable the trim switch in any app you used and just hold ⌘⌥PR at boot and wait for a second startup chime
Warning! if you don't switch off trim manually you'll get your system unbootable!
Just in case you've already fogotten to do it and OS X doesn't boot
Just type in the Terminal window:
Code:
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"or if you'd also like to disable swapping:
Code:
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0 vm_compressor=2"and then enable TRIM with any app like TRIM Enabler or Disk Sensei

^^^^What happens if you want to modify (update OS) how do you reverse the terminal command? Or is it just necessary to turn off trim before the update and then reenable? This needs to be explored.
On another note, it seems odd they haven't modified the splash screen to read El Capitan?
And, I tried using the Manual Trim command in Disk Sensei and unless you have a couple of hours to kill, you won't be using it much.

The problem is that I can't boot the system because El Capital installer keep trying to install at boot and it fails.Edited and completed my post
The risk is yours to take. Personally I wouldn't, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else to do so.
Also note that El Capitan removes the repair permissions feature from Disk Utility and the corresponding diskutil command. If I understood this correctly, that feature was rendered obsolete because of the new rootless feature that blocks permission changes to system files, which is now stopping Trim Enabler. If you disable rootless, you can no longer perform any repair permissions operation in case you do need it. I suppose that only a reinstall or system update will fix your permissions now. How this is going to affect Trim Enabler, we have to see. I suspect that any update will override the modifications done by Trim Enabler, so you have to go through the entire process again.
If the update process can do it there might be a hidden/undocumented way for a user to?
Looks like you can still do it via the Terminal with
Code:
diskutil repairPermissions /
I was just on the Cidori site, and it looks like he is going to work on an updated TRIM workaround for DiskSensei.
It's really hard to understand why Apple has chosen not to support TRIM for 3rd party SSDs. Contrary to what some have said, the market for 3rd party SSds is most likely creative content producers - - the target audience for the MacPro. How is it rational to make life more difficult for this audience? Not to mention that Apple's policy in this regard seems, at least to me and some colleagues with legal expertise, a blatant violation of the antitrust laws. Anyone ever hear of "restraint of trade?"

Apple is encouraging users to hack into the OS by not supporting TRIM on non-Apple SSDs and blocking users from modifying the OS will have the opposite effect. I've been a faithful hardcore Mac user for many years and I've spent thousands of dollars on Apple hardware but it seems that custom upgrading your Mac the way you want it will become impossible such as DIY SSD upgrades with each new OS release. Using a hacking tool like TRIM Enabler is not the same as native TRIM support. I will not be upgrading my iMac or MacBook Pro to El Capitan. I will be using Mavericks for as long as it takes. I'm very disappointed in Apple.
