Here's how to enable TRIM support on third-party SSDs Now, the good news we want to share with you today is that Apple has finally decided it was time to give people what they want, so they’ve added the "trimforce" command that lets users enable TRIM support on third-party SSD disk drives on the recently released Mac OS X 10.10.4 (Yosemite) update.
