I have a Mac Pro (early 2008) running OS X Mavericks 10.9.5 in which I installed a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO using a 2.5" to 3.5" Icy Dock converter. I want to enable TRIM and tried using the Terminal method found here (the code to use doesn't fully show on the website, so the author provided this link which has all the code visible) and here. But after I reboot the computer, I go to verify under System Information that TRIM is enabled, but it always says, "TRIM Support: No" .
For reference, here's the different lines of code that are inputed into Terminal:
Backs up the file that will be patched. Don't think this is required though.
This is the code that patches the file and enables TRIM for Mavericks.
This forces a refresh of the system's kernel extension cache.
Finally you reboot and it should work...but it doesn't...for me. Any ideas as to what the issue could be? I want to stick with Mavericks (as opposed to upgrading to Yosemite or El Capitan) for a number of reasons including that Adobe CS6, Illustrator in particular, doesn't seem to fully work with Yosemite.
Thanks!
