Hello,
It appears the TRIM feature is currently disabled on my iMac 2k15 using an Apple SSD running High Sierra.
I read about this question for other SSD and I read that with my apple factory built SSD it should have been enabled.
But it isn't, so I'm unsure whether I should enable it.
I don't have performances issues but I'm not against gaining an extra buff under higher work loads.
Cheers
Just FYI:
For current OS X (I think Apple started support TRIM since Snow Leopard 10.6 - only Apple OEM SSD then) that "Apple OEM SSD" will be automatically TRIM enabled. I have few DIY upgrades on Mac Mini, MacBook Pro and iMac - with Apple OEM SSD (made by Toshiba or Samsung - 2.5" or blade SSDs) that I had NO need to "enable" TRIM via terminal "sudo" command.
However, the fusion drives are a bit complicated regarding TRIM.
"About this Mac" -- "system support" -- "SATA/SATA express - or PCI-express" should be easy to check the TRIM status.

each memory cell on a ssd has a limited amount of writes before the cell stop working
without trim the lifespan of a ssd disk is rather short

Perfect, the answer i needed to take a dive.
TRIM enabled. Thank you for your time.
TRIM or Not to TRIM on Apple SSD?
