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)
