Trim Enabler

I’ma little confused. The current version is 1.1 or 1.2? The new version will be 2.0, and use a different method?

Forgot to mention some details: My machine is a mid-2010 MacBook Pro running 10.7.1. My SSD is a Corsair Force GT 120 GB. The TRIM Enabler has been working perfectly after crashing the first two times after the restart.

Did try TrimEnabler 2 and in smart nothing working.
MPB Late 2008 SSD Crucial M4

I specify that my ssd M4 are in RAID0.
but smart working with App Smart Utility

Trm Enabler 2.0 for Lion!
Thanks!

Where is 2.0?

How do I Un-Install TRIM ? Thanks …

Hi Oskar,

Trim Enabler appears to be the answer to my ssd solution, but I do have a question. I have a vintage MBP v1,1 Core Duo 2006, running OSX 10.6.8. and I was wondering if Trim Enabler would be compatible my laptop , OSX version and an OCZ Agility 3?

Thanks for your time and effort,
Adrian!

Works like a charm on my MacBook Pro 13″ 2009 and Crucial C300. Thanks a lot!

BTW, I have two of those in my MBP (the DVD has been removed and the tool only lists one. Would be great if it listed both

Is v.2.0 compatible with the latest OS X Lion (v.10.7.2)?

ps. structure and layout of your website is confusing and messy… i suggest a little refresh. anyway thanks for this great app!

Hi,

I’ve installed a 60Go OCZ Aglity 3 in my good old MacBook Pro pre-unibody (A1151) ith Snow Leopard

Trim enabler refuse to be installed on this model..

Is it a mistake , a bug or and incompatility?

Cheers

What do you mean “”refuse to install” ?

My english is not so good as it seems!!

Please, look at this screen capture

It’s the same kind of screen than when you try to install a powerPC application on a Mac Intel without Rosetta…

Thansk for your help!

It is because you have only 32bit CPU. Trim Enabler only supports 64-bit CPU unfortunately.

Hi,

I have a MacBook Air Rev. A with OSX 10.7.2, upgraded with a RunCore 64GB Pro IV 1.8″ PATA ZIF PLUS SSD with Trim Support.

I installed Trim Enabler 2.0 successfully, however when I enable it, the following message is displayed; “The patch is active but Trim is not. I can’t seem to detect your SSD though, to make sure Trim is enabled, Check System Information ..”

The Trim Enabler S.M.A.R.T. Information display shows the following:
Drive Model – RunCore 64G-C SSD
Model Family – ?
Firmware Version – 2030s
Serial number – 1104xxxxxx
S.M.A.R.T. support – Enabled

The OSX System Information shows the same information under the “ATA Bus” section (not “Serial-ATA”), however there is no Trim Support attribute listed.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

—Bob

Bob, try fsck in single user mode. You can then see if blocks are being trimed.

Replace rdisk0s2 with your SSD.

Hey Oskar,

First of all – thank you very much for your hard work. You deserve my donation.

I have a 64GB Samsung 830 in my early 2011 15″ MBP. I noticed that none of my drive information, including the recording of reads, writes, errors, and retired blocks are all “?”. Are these an expected update?

Also, I turned Trim off, hoping that an “off and on” would maybe detect the drive. But when I turned it off it says that “Trim Enabler is off, but Trim is still enabled. You must have an Apple drive…” which is not the case. I’d appreciate any insight.

Thanks again for the great app!

OS X 10.7.3 was just released and updating means I’ll have to reapply TRIM Enabler. Can you confirm is TRIM Enabler 2.0 fully compatible with OS X 10.7.3 (and other future updates as well, 10.7.x)?

Cheers,
Raili

Yup, it works.

If any update breaks Trim Enabler so patching won’t work, Trim Enabler will simply notify you that it was unable to patch.

After applying the patch and rebooting the system, it worked just fine on Macbook Pro2,2 [silver keys] with Crucial 256GB M4 SSD.

Thanks a lot!

Funny, I just updated to 10.7.3, rebooted and checked the TRIM status from “System Information” and it shows TRIM support is enabled even though I haven’t applied TRIM Enabler yet.

Does this mean that 10.7.3 has enabled TRIM support for 3rd party drives or does it simply mean that 10.7.3 did not replace the file that TRIM Enabler patches? I’m curious because after 10.7.2 update I had to reapply TRIM Enabler…

Thanks for bringing this to my attention raili.

I investigated this by disabling Trim on my 10.7.2 MPB with Corsair SSD, then updating to 10.7.3. Trim was still disabled.

Maybe it is because your kext cache still contains the patched version of the kext. I’m not really sure how the kext cache works, but sometimes I’ve experienced that replacing kexts does not give instant effect until you repair permissions. So you can try that to see if your system “hooks on” to the 10.7.3, unpatched kext.

Or it is possible you did not recieve a new kext from the update, it could be not all system updates works the same for all the Mac models.

I tried repairing permissions but it still shows that TRIM support is enabled. My computer is iMac 27″ (mid-2010). I suppose there’s no need to reapply TRIM Enabler if the TRIM support is already enabled.

I just installed TrimEnabler (MacPro 1,1 with SL10.6.8).
“Everything looks super.”

One idea for future improvement:

When I click on the SMART stats, I see the status of one of my hard drives (I have 3 HDs and an M4 SSD in my Computer. The SSD is connected to one of the two additional SATA connectors on the motherboard. Not to one of the 4 drive bays).

It would be a cool feature if you could select the drive for which the SMART status will be displayed…

question on trim enabler ver 2.0
running 10.7.3 quad core i7 macbook pro I see
TRIM Support:Yes under system info only after installing your trim enabler.
But when I look at SMART in trim enabler 2 app there is lots of question marks why please is the ssd not supported?

your trim enabler 2.0 reports:

Quik question: Will this work on a Powerbook G4 (ie. pre intel) 15″ aluminium mac running OSX 10.4.11 or does it need a newer system?

Intel Mac, 10.6.8 required

I had previously enabled TRIM on 10.7.3 using the older version (1.1) and it worked, but I decided to restore the original kext using your procedure and re-enabled TRIM via 2.0, which also worked perfectly! Thanks for your efforts.

I can confirm that this software works with new Mac OS X 10.8 (DP1).

That’s great Lex! Thanks for trying out
