In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter.įsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0ģ. If the query result is " DisableDeleteNotify = 1", it means that the SSD has not enabled the Trim command.Ģ. If the query result is " DisableDeleteNotify = 0", it means that the SSD has supported and enabled the Trim command In the opened Command Prompt window, type the following command, and press Enter.įsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify

#TRIM ENABLER SSD HOW TO#
How to check whether Trim of SSD is enabled or disabled.ġ. No matter which option, how to enable or disable Trim of SSD is very important for computer users.īefore enabling or disabling Trim, we need to learn to determine the current state of Trim. In the previous article, we discussed whether Trim of SSD should be enabled or disabled.
#TRIM ENABLER SSD UPDATE#
If you happened to update your notebook or desktop to an SSD, enabling TRIM is a must for the best long term sustained performance.Trim plays an important role in SSD performance. Overall the process to enable TRIM on an OSX Lion system is rather painless, with the only requirement being that a SSD that supports TRIM is installed. Sudo cp /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage.original /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage The second utilizes the backup file created and restores it over the modified one. Copy and paste this code just like the previous command, this step should complete in very little time (seconds or less than a second). Next the code patches the IOAHCIBlockStorage file, removing the requirements that the SSD be made by Apple. Sudo cp /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage.original

Copy and paste the code into the terminal window, a successful or uneventful response is a new blank terminal line. You will be prompted to enter in your system password when using the “sudo” command, since you are modifying system files. The first step makes a backup of the original IOAHCIBlockStorage file called IOAHCIBlockStorage.original. To launch a terminal window, open the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder and select terminal. The guide breaks the process down into three steps, all performed via copying and pasting the code snippets through the terminal window. Using this guide, we enabled TRIM on the OWC Aura Express Pro 6G 240GB SSD we previously reviewed.
#TRIM ENABLER SSD PATCH#
Note that if you update the system software, you will need to reapply this patch to enable TRIM again. Our guide is based off the instructions digital_dreamer published on the insanelymac forums this summer when Lion was released and later revised by Grant Pannell. This how to guide walks through the process of enabling TRIM support with any SSD in the OS X Lion environment. Thankfully there are a set of terminal commands that may be copied and pasted over to turn TRIM support on for any SSD in the OS X Lion operating system. In fact, Lion offers no simple switch to press to enable TRIM.

#TRIM ENABLER SSD UPGRADE#
If you switch to a non-Apple SSD or upgrade your hard drive to an SSD, TRIM support does not get enabled by default. Apple enabled TRIM support in OS X Lion 10.7 but there’s a catch Apple only allows TRIM to work when using an Apple sanctioned SSD.
