Trim enabler 3.0 update#

So choices using Yosemite are, reduced security and potential system update issues or, a SSD that doesn't require Trim support. Apple changed kext signing in OS X 10.10 such that kext singing must be disabled to use applications like Trim Enabler for trim support. Please detail working hardware/software configurations and strategy/schedule as well as outcomes.ģrd party SSDs for the most part don't have trim support in Yosemite without kext signing security tradeoffs.

I'm also considering turning on Trim Enabler periodically, then off and reenabling kext-signing to avoid issues with until (if) Apple restores TRIM support to hardware and software devs. So far, because of this article, I'm considering a SSD with Sandforce or equivalent active garbage collection. I'm hoping for strategy / options to work with SSDs that recommend or require Trim support. Trim Enabler author says using Trim Enabler by turning off kext signing is cracking a walnut with a sledgehammer. If you bought a SSD that needs trim support ( at time of writing, all SSDs benefit) such as the Samsung 840 Evo, there are many reported issues when performing PRAM reset and potential future system update conflicts in addition to the current security tradeoffs (see below). Whether this is vendor lock in or not, it's made upgrading a headache. Unfortunately Apple has decided to create kext signing in Yosemite that creates issues for SSDs that require Trim support for optimal function and longevity. Before reading this long question, please note that it is mostly outdated in light of the more recent developments reflected by the top answer.
