My iMac's running slow. TRIMForce on SSD enabled.



This is a post with my first question:

My iMac's running slow and I want to re-i… - Apple Community


I did everything according to Allan Jones' instructions. Thank you very much.

TRIMForce enabled.

I ran the Mac in safe mode 4 times for up to an hour each time out of four.

After that, the computer flew like a rocket for exactly one day.

Then it was the same as before. Everything is very slow.

But recently it started working normally every other day.

One day it works well, another day it works poorly.

The problem persists at 80%.


Now it's always slow again, every day =(


I can’t imagine why this is so and what to do about it.


Attached the current report from EtreCheck:

Those SSDs do not enjoy a good reputation among Mac users. They tend to work well for a year or two, and then they just crater:


Write speed: 198 MB/s
Read speed: 502 MB/s


Throw it out and buy a replacement from OWC / MacSales. I have Macs with their Mercury Extreme Pro series SSDs that work as well as they did when they were new. They are all well over ten years old.
