You can read more here or go to the TrimEnabler web site directly. Trim Enabler is a simple utility that does this for you. If you bought a 3rd party one like I did, you have to tweak the system to be able to turn on the TRIM support. Unfortunately, MacOS supports TRIM only for Apple-supplied SSD’s. TRIM support is essential for keeping the SSD healthy. So it is the best way how you can ruin your SSD even before you start using it. Benchmarks usually write a lot of data to the disk (to test the write speed), wearing it out. So they get this cool idea of running some extensive benchmarks to see the amazing performance numbers. Some people, right after they buy a new SSD, want to enjoy the speed and are eager to find out how much faster exactly their new SSD is than the old HDD. Let me know if any other tweaks work well for you. Make sure you back up your computer before trying any of these. So, here is a list of content in case you want to skip to particular sections:ĭISCLAIMER: Applying any of these tweakss is at your own risk. Some of them you may already be aware of. Here I am providing the list of things I found on various web sites or came up with myself to minimize the risk the SSD wears out too soon. So, I’ve decided to write this blog – for my own benefit (to keep track of what I did in case I have to re-apply it in the future) as well as for the benefit of others who may run into this blog entry. And as I found out, with the new features in Lion, some additional tweaks need to be applied – especially in case of a laptop.
Recently I bought another SSD – this time a 240GB Vertext 3 for my MacBook – that one I am using as the only drive in the laptop. So far I’ve been very happy with it and thanks to applying some tweaks the drive seems still healthy as new.
I am using it as the primary disk, while I kept the original 1TB HDD as the secondary one. 18 months back I bought my first SSD (120GB OCZ Vertex 2) for my (then) new iMac.
