As for power users, I recommend just buying a new Mac. This been said, I guess Apple would rather prefer to allow their Macs to support 3rd parties SSDs and have Macs secured, than have a lot of hacked Macs and all the internet taking about it.Īlthough, old Macs are getting obsolete due to the absence of current technologies, most of the regular users still can extract a bit more juice of their Macs, so they will find this tool very useful. I believe that Apple had made this decision because after the release of OS X Yosemite, which includes the new kext signing feature, Mac users were disabling this security feature, which when turned off, allows to execute arbitrary code in modified kext extension natively, WHICH was an huge security flaw. This is a huge win for the Mac users community because the people had ask for this a while ago. Yesterday, Apple had released OS X 10.10.4, including on it the new remarkable trimforce tool which allow native TRIM support for 3rd parties SSDs. Sudo kextcache -m /System/Library/Caches//Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions # rebuild kext cache manually (could take a while)

# looks for 'Apple' string in HD kext, changes it to a wildcard match for anything # Important: Add 'kext-dev-mode=1' as Kernel Arguments or the computer won't boot.

Your SSDs should now have a performance boost with the TRIM command enabled, and from reports I have heard, you can also use the TRIM command with regular HDDs to experience a slight increase in performance as well.# UPDATE for 10.10.4+: please consider this patch obsolete, as apple provides a tool called 'trimforce' to enable trim support for 3rd party SSDs

After the controllers have installed, you might be asked to reboot again, so please do so.

You can uninstall the NVIDIA controller though in Device Manager and install Microsoft's IDE Controller, which can send TRIM commands for SSDs.ġ. After running the command above, you should notice the same DisableDeleteNotify = 0, which indicates that the feature is now enabled.īelow is useful information for SSD users with NVIDIA motherboards because even though Trim is enabled, some NVIDIA nForce motherboards do not always send the TRIM command for SSDs.
