If your Mac Mini Fusion drive has a 3rd party SSD along with an Apple HDD AND you have some sort of 3rd party TRIM enabler installed and turned on, turn it OFF and uninstall it. You don't need it even though others would disagree.


I have a Mac Mini Fusion drive with an OWC SSD and Apple HDD. I do not have TRIM enabled on my SSD since it's not supported by OS X. I'm using just the built-in Garbage Collection of the drive. I had no issues upgrading from OS X Yosemite (including OS X Server) to El Capitan and the Fusion drive is working fine.
