I tried this and it wouldn't work for me. It backed up the file, but when I tried to open the .kext file with the same editor he used, it wouldn't allow me to open it. I also tried logging in as the root user and didn't work either. Any ideas?

Macbook Pro 2012 model, 10.7.4, Intel 320 series 120gb SSD

I just installed a 512GB SSD from Crucial into my late 2011 MacBook Pro. I used the Trim Enabler app from http://www.groths.org/?page_id=322. It's working really well. The app has had some mixed reviews, but it's hard to take full account of everyone's unique setups. Crucial did tell me that garbage collection happens automatically on their SSDs when your system goes idle. I don't know about other brands. Having TRIM enabled in OS X simply allows the OS to tell the SSD to remove the old deleted data instead of waiting on the SSD to do it by itself. I love Apple, so I'm going to assume that they have a good reason for not enabling TRIM for 3rd party SSDs. Judging from what I've been told by Crucial, TRIM may not even be necesary with their SSDs anyway so this may be a non-issue for me.
