LION USERS: DO NOT USE. This crashed my entire SSD and I lost EVERYTHING. Dev has no idea what the heck he's doing.

Have you even read the linked article? Trim Enabler 1.2 and lower was not compatible with Lion. All newer versions work fine with Lion. The mentioned replacement of a kernel component was replaced by a much more reliable method long time ago.

That same article led to another article:

http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/

And that led to a link to an Applescript that executes all of the necessary Terminal commands to enable the Trim function:

I've tried it, and it works just fine. Thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Is this app save to use? I mean, I don't want to mess up my SSD (dataloss).
Any working references?

As I posted there is a massive thread about this app over on Macrumors. Use the search. Some had issues with this app, others didn't. If TRIM does not come with your device, I would think twice about enabling a hack that not supported by 10.7.

FYI: If you have a SSD with Garbage Collection it doesn't work well with Trim enabled.
I am running a Intel 320 120GB for 5 months now without Trim and it is still fast as lighting.

What do you mean with it doesn't work well? I also have an Intel 320 with Trim enabled on my Mac Pro 2008 and it's superfast, no problems at all. I thought the 320 supports Trim?

I have an Intel 320 160GB and I enabled TRIM shortly after I installed it. I noticed that my computer was getting slower recently... turns out TRIM had been disabled at some point. Things improved once I enabled TRIM again and erased free space.

There is a massive discussion about this app over on Macrumors. I would go read it before installing this app. There is a very good chance you will hose your system with this.

I installed Vertex 2 240 GB units on two Macbook Pro machines and enabled TRIM on one of them and not the other. After one week of use, I ran XBench. The TRIM-enabled machine posted slightly better results. So, I enabled TRIM on the second machine. The results slightly improved. I haven't noticed anything negative. It's possible that emptying the trash is bit slower than before, but it's not significant. Boot time seems to be a bit faster.

I started getting -1303 errors after doing this on an Intel SSD X25-M, and being unable to save documents.

But kudos to the developer, he includes a restorer within the app (I just selected 'default restore' and all was good. Although no trim support.

I've had another look into this issue, and the -1303 is probably not to do with Trim Enabler. Perhaps if others have the same issue you can report it here. So after all, it seems that this works well.

There are currently no troubleshooting comments. If you are experiencing a problem with this app, please post a comment.
