Hi, I have installed a Samsung V-Nand SSD 850 EVO 1TB in my wife's Mid 2012 lap top Pro. In system report, I notice under "SSD/SATA" the TRIM is not enabled. Which I understand is required for the proper running and, life expectancy of the SSD. Can anyone please advise me on how this can be achieved?
Regards Tim.

Hi, Thanks for your time & help. I have printed the advice from your link, and will try later, once I have backed up her drive with "Time Machine"

Hi,
You can do it through Terminal: https://www.howtogeek.com/222077/how-to-enable-trim-for-third-party-ssds-on-mac- os-x/

You're welcome. Good idea to back up, always.
OSX EL CAPITAN 10.11.6
sudo trimforce enable
... will be available. This setting is also honored in Safe Mode, so it can be used for an automatic pass to eliminate accumulated deleted data.
