I was under the (mis?)impression that under Mojave, TRIM was supported for external SSDs connected via Thunderbolt.
I have a 2015 27" iMac running 10.14.3, with a Thunderbolt 2 enclosure with a Samsung 850 EVO SSD. System report says that TRIM is NOT supported.
Is there something I need to do to turn on TRIM on the external SSD?

This should work. In macOS Terminal enter the following command:
sudo trimforce enable
It will prompt for a password (must be administrator to do this) and it
should enable TRIM on all third party drives.
Note that this will not work on USB devices.

Thanks very much for your help.
