Apple has updated OS X El Capitan with a method that allows users to enable TRIM support for third party SSDs, reports MacRumors.TRIM support allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive which blocks of data are no longer considered in use and can be wiped internally. If it’s off, you may see significantly slower drive writes. This feature is supported on official Apple drives but not on third party drives. A tool called TRIM Enabler previously allowed users to enable support for their own SSDs; however, Yosemite made changes which forced you to disable kext signing to turn on TRIM and if your NVRAM or PRAM gets reset your system refuses to boot.Share Article:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Email, Reddit, Digg, Delicious, StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTubeAdvertise Here
