Mojave Pro Tools 2019.05 SSD Trim Enable (Y or N?)
Hi Guys
Just finally getting started testing Pro Tools 2019 on my 2010 Mac Pro with HDX Card. I have a combination of OWC SSD Drives and Samsung SSD Drives. I have already installed everything (took about 10 hours or downloading and installing), but I forgot to enable trim. . . I presume that I should enable trim for the Samsung drives, as I have in past MAC OS versions? The reason i am asking, is I am hearing that a number of people do not enable trim with Samsung or other none-Mac or none-OWC drives. I did have a problem once with a MacBook Pro due to not having trim enabled, so I always have since. Any difference with the Mojave and APFS? What is best? System Description: Mac Pro (Mid-2010) 12 Core 3.46 GHz 24GB RAM Mojave (10.14.5) Video: NVIDIA GeForce GX 680 4GB Monitors: 34" Samsung SE790C (HDMI), 20" Dell 2005FPW (DVI @90 deg rotation) Drives: - System: OWC Mercury 3G SSD - Sessions: Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500GB - Samples: Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB - Sonnet Tempo SSD Card (PCIe 2xSSD), System and Sample SSDs PCIe USB3/eSata Card (2x2) PT Ultimate HDX 2019.5 Interfaces: Lynx Aurora16 (x 2) + Digidesign 192 i/o (x 2) Last edited by Howardk; 06-26-2019 at 03:54 AM. |

You always want to have trim enabled for any ssd.

From digging around on this forum I found a few comments on whether you should or shouldn't enable trim. * If you are using APFS and an NVME SDD then Trim will always be enabled * If you are using APFS and an SSD then enabling Trim will cause a slow boot * If you are using HFS+ on an NVME SSD or SSD then Trim should be enabled by the user either by the Clover method or from a terminal "sudo trimforce enable" (my prefered method). I'm no expert on this though, but @vulgo is a very experienced user, so I respect his opinion. If in doubt, start a new post. The Issue with Trim and APFS on 3rd party SSDs seems to be caused by Trimming taking place as the computer is booting so the more data you had on your SSD the longer your boot would take. It's better to do the routine everyone knows by now to go back to HFS+ and enable trim, or the not recommended option, stay on APFS and disable trim.

It would have taken less time to Google the answer than it did to write your post. See this article: https://www.howtogeek.com/222077/how...s-on-mac-os-x/
You really should make Google your friend. |

I use a program called Trim Enabler for my Mac.

That program hasn't been needed in years. Why pay for something you can do in Terminal for free?

Yes, I realize Trim is enabled for all SSDs with the "sudo trimforce enable" command. . . I have had all my Macs this way for many years. I am thinking that since the Samsung drives are HFS+ data drives that I best have trim enabled. . .so that being so, it doesn't really matter that the OWC System SSDs don't need trim enabled, nor does changing from APFS to HFS+ for the system drives really help anything in my setup. I enabled trim a couple days back, and so far all seems fine in that regard. Thanks. . .
