Do I still need the Trim Enabler app for the third party SSD in my 2012 MacBook Pro running Catalina?
MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15
no.
TRIM can be enabled via the command line.
TRIM from terminal
system_profiler SPSerialATADataType | grep 'TRIM'
to enable from your running macOS— a restart is required
sudo trimforce enable
(please note your psswd will not echo, type it in anyway, to proceed use the enter/return key)
Make sure that your 3rd party SSD support the TRIM command first.
