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.
