Strange! On the official page I got 1.35.
Can you point me on that link please?
Thanks.
There's no link to that... as you can see at the official page, it says 1.6 firmware:
But I've recently updated mi OCZ Vertex 2 (4 days ago) using the tool OCZ provides and the latest version is 1.35 (same as yours).
Let me try if I can enable TRIM in mine as actually I've also have it disabled and will let you know.
Edit:
After rebooting (with the Trim Enabler opened) I obtain the following:
And checking the System Information I can see that TRIM is activated. I've readed a few posts ago in this thread that someone needed to use the soft three times until TRIM was activated, but I did it on my first try!

Thanks man for keep replying 
.
I just tried the trick with rebooting having the program opened but I had no luck till now. Maybe it will work on next version.
Fiy, I have a MBP 15" late 2011.

Hi everyone,
So I tried enabling TRIM on 10.7.3 with the terminal instructions, but now I can't bootup from my samsung 830. When I go to the gray screen, it stays on the spinner for a while with the apple logo, and then the apple logo turns into a prohibitive sign (circle with a line through it).
I can boot up on the SSD in safe mode, so I've probably corrupted the kext file somehow. Can anyone upload their IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext file? I have a Mid-2009 Macbook Pro 2.26 ghz on 10.7.3 Lion.
Thanks so much!
EDIT: Never mind! I used TRIM Enabler 2.0 to modify my kext file, and then I reset my PRAM and now it boots up fine. Whew!

obvious deduction, but i'd like to learn why this would happen and how to still be able to use TRIM. Considering Intel drives are the recommended ones here.
If it was a Sandforce drive then that wou;d\ve been the reason. Are you running the latest firmware from Intel? and did you do an SMC/PRAM reset after installing the SSD?
I have an OWC Extreme 3G in my 09 Mac Pro, a Extreme 6G in my 11 MacBook Pro, and a Aura 6G in my 11 MacBook Air. All work with TRIM; no issues with performance.
I just checked. It says version 1.5 enables TRIM, but that's for the older Vertex . I had TRIM working on the Vertex 2 with version 1.14…

I don't have performance issues, but when doing a TimeMachine backup, I always have to do a hard reboot due to the Spinning Pinwheel of Death. But this is not caused by Trim or "TRIM Enabler", anyone with this issue in their SSDs?
Sorry for the Off-Topic. Again, just to confirm, the spinning beach ballon is NOT caused by "TRIM Enabler".

I installed previous version of TRIM Enabler. Any reason to upgrade to 2.0? If so, do I need to uninstall/restore first before installing new version?
If it says trim is enabled in System Profiler, you don't have to anything
You don't need TRIM enabler at all in the first place. just do this...

Yes, if you have enabled with a version that is 1.x, you should follow the steps here to update your driver to latest version:

Thanks. Upon checking it seems that TRIM was disabled. Perhaps during one of the OS X updates, it was reverted?? Anyway, I followed your instructions and now I'm up to date.
Is this a common occurrence? Will I need to check on status of TRIM each time there is an update and enable again w/ Trim Enabler?
yes, most system updates will reset the patch, so you will have to patch again.
trim enabler 2.0 is future proof though, so you can just keep it in your app folder and reuse it when needed. reports are in that it even works in Mountain Lion preview.
