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 the case? Generally, how extended is the SSD lifespan with trim enabled? Is it as simple as purchasing a new SSD and cloning it will reset the lifespan if it does degrade without trim? I plan to buy a new MacBook Pro within the next couple years, but I want to make sure trim is worth it.
New to “trim”, so any tips is appreciated. Thanks so much!
