On Wednesday, we reported that Apple released the latest OS X version with 10.10.4, which adds the support of TRIM<\/a> for third-party SSDs.<\/p>\n

OWC SSDs are built to run at optimal speed and provide peak performance throughout their lives without TRIM through DuraWrite technology, over-provisioning, and garbage collection<\/a>. However, our testing has shown no issues with using Trimforce or third-party enablers with an OWC SSD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you would like to enable TRIM on your SSD with the Trimforce command, we have put together a brief step-by-step guide:<\/p>\n

1.)<\/strong> Open Terminal.   \"Open<\/a>2.)<\/strong> Enter the command \u201csudo trimforce enable\u201d (without quotes). You\u2019ll then need to enter your password to continue. You will see the screen below with a warning or “Important Notice”. While more recent SSDs shouldn\u2019t have a problem enabling TRIM via Trimforce, older SSDs might behave in unexpected ways when enabling TRIM. However, if you have a relatively recent SSD, there shouldn\u2019t be any problem enabling TRIM via Trimforce. As a reminder, you should always keep a backup of your data<\/a> to ensure your data is secure. If users already have applications such as \u201cTrim Enabler\u201d already installed, they should probably remove it before using Trimforce.\"Enter<\/a>3.)<\/strong> You\u2019ll be asked \u201cAre you sure you wish to proceed (y\/N). Press y and then enter to proceed to the next instruction. You\u2019ll then be told that \u201cYour system will immediately reboot when this is complete. Is this okay (y\/N) ?”  Press y again and enter and it will tell you “Enabling TRIM”. Note:<\/strong> After your machine reboots, Terminal may relaunch depending on your machine’s settings. If that happens, you can simply close the window.\"Accepting<\/a><\/p>\n
