Ever since the release of OS X 10.6.8, Apple has been selectively enabling the TRIM command for SSDs in OS X. This support continues on in Mac OS X Lion, as well as Mountain Lion, and even OS X Mavericks, but as many have noted, it only seems to work for Apple SSDs. Here’s how to enable TRIM across the board:
What is TRIM?
The TRIM command is an important disk command for SSDs that keeps your flash memory appropriately cycled so that you can achieve faster read and write speeds, as well as a longer lifespan for your SSD. As such, TRIM support is not the trivial matter that some make it out to be (although certain manufacturers, such as Other World Computing, include firmware that eliminates the need for OS-level TRIM support).
How to Enable TRIM Via the OS X Terminal (Recommended)
In you have an SSD that supports TRIM, follow the below instructions to enable it in OS X 10.6.8 or later. Note: This involves the use of terminal commands, so proceed at your own risk.
After entering this command, you’ll need to enter a second command:
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions/
The above-linked document also contains some troubleshooting instructions, as well as details on how to disable TRIM support if necessary.
Using a Third Party Tool
If you don’t find success using the Terminal command to enable TRIM for your SSD, there are two third-party apps that can help you enable TRIM support. I recommend trying Chameleon SSD Optimizer first. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can try TRIM Enabler 3.0 or later for Mac. I don’t like to recommend third-party tools, as they often make system-level changes above and beyond those performed by the terminal command – and that may not be in your best interest long-term.
Verifying TRIM Support
To ensure that the command was successful, and that TRIM really is enabled on your SSD, click the Finder menu in the Menu bar, then navigate to About This Mac > More Info > System Report. Then, scroll to the SATA/SATA Express section, and select your SSD. You should see a section called TRIM
Note: In some cases, a restart may be required before TRIM shows as Enabled in the System Profiler. With OS X Mavericks, not all SSDs will report TRIM support, but doing a benchmark both before and after the change should confirm that TRIM is functional.
Added Bonus: Thunderbolt TRIM Support!
As an added bonus in OS X Mountain Lion or later, including OS X Mavericks (I have not tested this in previous versions of OS X), raid can now also be enabled for SSDs hooked to your Mac through a Thunderbolt PCIe controller, such as the excellent Magma ExpressBox 3T! For more info on these devices, check out our complete review roundup of Thunderbolt PCIe controllers – perfect for Apple’s 2013 Mac Pro!
If you’re looking for an SSD to use in your Mac, I recommend checking out the OCZ Vector or the Sandisk Extreme. Also, make sure to check out the full range of affordable SSDs available on Amazon!

*Update: Revised on 11/6/2013 to reflect changes for OS X Mavericks, to fix errors, and to provide a more complete and comprehensive guide to enabling TRIM support.
Why are the [REMOVE ME]’s in there?
i get an error on the second line: syntax error near unexpected token ‘.{9}
replace the quotation-marks with “real double quotes”. they get messed up when you copy and paste.
trim enabled slowed down boot times dramatically in Lion for me. I’m running an OCZ Vertex 3
didn’t work for me, got the same error on the sec on line.
Why not just use Trim Enabler. It works just fine in Lion. Why make it soooo complex?
The reason for doing it this way is because TRIM Enabler replaces Lion files with files from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. This is a simple patch rather than replacing entire files from an older OS, which doesn’t feel right.
You may be getting syntax errors because of the “curling quotes” in the code above. e.g., ‘ vs ‘. Copy the code above to something like Textmate, vim or TextEdit. Replace the curly single quotes with a standard quote (the one you normally type on your keyboard), and remove the [REMOVE ME] sections.
I have an Intel X25M 120GB SSD and it worked just fine.
Worked fine for me… just follow Chris Jone’s instructions and you’ll get there. Now I can uninstall ‘TRIM Support Enabler’!
call me a dummy but i don’t see any [REMOVE ME] sections…
anyways i executed the four commands successfully (replacing necessary curly quotes with standard quotes) but when i reboot and open system information for the ssd, i see trim support -> no.
i just upgraded to lion. i did have trim support enabled in SL.
mac mini 2010, intel X25M 120GB SSD.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
okay. i got it to work. i replaced the curly double quotes with the standard single quote. i still don’t see any [REOMVE ME] sections… 🙂
thanks all!
I have an OCZ Solid 3 and this did not work. The perl one-liner executes fine, but after the reboot TRIM support is not enabled. I like my MBP, but I absolutely despise Apple for doing bs like this.
All the commands ran successfully, however after the reboot Trim Support was still set to no.

I used these commands with a Wildfire SSD and worked like a charm.
Capacity: 120.03 GB (120,034,123,776 bytes)
Model: Patriot Wildfire
Revision: 319ABBF0
Serial Number: PT1126A1624
Native Command Queuing: Yes
Queue Depth: 32
Removable Media: No
Detachable Drive: No
BSD Name: disk0
Medium Type: Solid State
TRIM Support: Yes
Partition Map Type: GPT (GUID Partition Table)
S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified
I cannot recommend following these instructions. In my case I executed the commands as described (yes, I replaced the quotation marks), rebooted and found TRIM was still not active.
After rebooting later again (without changing anything regarding TRIM), my iMac didn’t want to boot from the SSD at all (crossed circle sign instead of Apple logo). I had to start the rescue system and restore the old IOAHCIBlockStorage file. After that I was able to boot again normally.
My config: iMac 27-inch (late 2009), Mac OS X 10.7 Lion (freshly installed, not upgraded), Crucial m4 512 GB.
No errors but it didn’t work for me on final Lion build with Crucial M4 512GB.
Worked for me on a Crucial M4 256GB w/Lion
OCZ Vertex 2 extended 240GB on MBP 15 late 2008 working fine…so far 🙂
thank but i get on sudo kextcache -system-caches
Can’t create kext cache under / – owner not root.
I get “-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `.{9}'”
Any thoughts? Corsair CSSD-V128GB2. Thanks!
Replace.. those.. Quotes……. >> ” to ” <<
but.. it did not work for me either..
Intel SSD 320 Series
“I get “-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `.{9}'”
Any thoughts? Corsair CSSD-V128GB2. Thanks!”
Same thing for me.
Any ideas someone?
Didn’t work for me. Got the same “-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `.{9}'” error as the others.
System I tried it on:
24-inch iMac, Early 2008
SSD Crucial C300 256 GB
Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
Thanks for the terminal command to reload the backed up file though. Now I don’t need to forever worry about glitches from trying to enable TRIM. I’m actually a little bit glad this didn’t work, it’s just too easy to be true. There’s only one reason Apple wouldn’t enable universal TRIM support, and I have to assume it’s that they weren’t able to fix some kind of big glitch. Any good SSD (which includes my C300) should have what’s known as “garbage collection” enabled within the firmware itself, and while there’s argument as to whether or not it’s as effective as TRIM in very high demand applications, it’s all the typical user or most “prosumers” will ever need. My C300 has been in use for at least 6 months and it’s actually testing a tiny bitter faster now than it did when it was new, so I’m just fine with waiting for Apple to perfect TRIM support.
Worked for me though I did have to replace the double-quotes around the perl regex with single-quotes to avoid bash being grumpy about “{9}”. Enabled TRIM on my elderly Kingston SNV425-S2 (2nd-gen JMicron controller).
Worked for my 320 series Intel SSD (I replaced double quotes with single quotes).
@fugeesnfunions:disqus your attempt failed due to a parsing error, just change the quotes and it will work if your drive supports TRIM. If Apple supports TRIM on its own drives I don’t see why it wouldn’t work perfectly fine on third party drives. TRIM is a standard, which means the only case they can be concerned about it not working properly is a bad implementation of it in a crappy SSD controller.
your ‘bash syntax error’ stuff is because you are copying smart quotes into the terminal. paste the commands into terminal and replace the smart quotes with regular double quotes.
i ran these on mine and after i rebooted i got a kernel panic. sooo i personally wouldnt recommend it. i had to plug my macbook into another machine to restore from the kext backup.
im on a APPLE SSD TS256A

this didn’t work for me. tried with replaced double and single quotes. crucial m4 128, os x lion.
Editing worked fine (I replaced the quotes). But it did not seem to have any effect. My SSD (OCZ Vertex2) is still listed with “Trim = no” in About This Mac.
Any suggestions?
Didn’t work for me. I have a OWC Mercury Extreme Pro SSD 120GB. I replaced the quotes in the code, but after a reboot it still showed trim as NOT being enabled.
I am running OSX Lion 10.7.0
Worked great for me. Replace the double quotes in the code with single quotes. Don’t forget to reboot. I have an Intel 510 128 Gig SSD drive on an MBP earl 2011.
Works for me.
2008 MacBook Pro, 10.7, Intel 160gb G2
Thanks Glen.
Worked for my OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD.
Had to replace the double / smart quotes in the ‘perl’ command with single quotes as others have done.
Glenn, thanks for the article, I’m definitely saving these steps.
Worked for my computer.
MacBook Pro 2010, MAC OS X Lion 10.7, ADATA SSD S599 128GB

Its working great, only change this “ with ‘. I have OCZ VERTEX 3 120 GB and mac book pro 13″ 2011
Worked great for me too!

Thanks!
Having fixed the double quotes this still didn’t work for me. MBP 2011, OCZ Vertex 3 128GB.
didn’t work on samsung 470 256gb macbook pro 5,3
Worked for me as well with the single quotes. I have a 2011 17″ MacBook Pro and KINGSTON SNVP325S2512GB.
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 158.6px; text-indent: -158.6px; font: 11.0px ‘Lucida Grande’}
There are typos
Great manual, it’s amazing you worked this out!
However I don’t think it worked, since system info for my SSD still says “TRIM Support: No”. Is that the only way to check? It’s an OCZ Vertex2 120gb in a MacBook Pro i7 2010. Lion is still indexing after the install, so maybe that needs to be finished first?
Restored backup, tried again, got some warnings (JMicronATA.kext does not declare a kernel dependency; using com.apple.kernel.6.0.), rebooted and…
TRIM is enabled now!
Any idea what those warnings mean though?
Brilliant, also worked for me. 13″ 2010 MBP with Lion and OCZ Deneva DENCSTE251M2X-0240. Like others have mentioned, just needed to replace the fancy left/right quotes with plain old single quotes.
I keep getting -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `.{9}’
I get that error as well
EDIT: I replaced the two fancy quotes like other people mentioned and the command went through. After a reboot it now says TRIM is supported, thanks a bunch!
Can you post the correct syntax command as I have the token error?
That’s the best I can do – just replace the fancy single quotes with straight single quotes (‘). I can’t get WordPress to display the straight single quotes.
Use the <pre> tags.
This worked for me. Thanks!
Thanx a lot. Works perfectly.
Worked like a charm. thanks a lot
Hey it worked for me. Just wanna say thank you so much. This was REALLY bothering me. Ive been searching and searching for a fix. And like others said, change the fancy (‘) to simple straight ones (‘).
Worked very well. I had the same issue as others with the “fancy quotes”, simply copied the commands into TextEdit, changed the quote marks, and followed the rest verbatim. Thank you!
Worked for me with 10.7.1 and OCZ Vertex 2 in a mid 2009 13’MBP.
Thanks a lot !
Worked like a charm 🙂
Mac Mini 2009, Intel SSDSA2M080G2GC 80GB. Worked on 10.7. Did System Update to 10.7.1, did not have to re-patch in this instance. Working.
Worked for me with 10.7.1 and SAMSUNG 470 Series SSD(256GB) in a late 2009 Mac mini (2.53GHz)Thank you very much!
1. Worked great, thanks.
2. If your SSD still shows no TRIM support check for firmware upgrades. I had to upgrade mine and it now does have TRIM.
3. Has anyone’s Mac became super slow with TRIM enabled?
It worked on iMac 7.1 with OCZ Vertex 2 120GB 3.5′!
Thanks a mill!Only thing I had to change for the patch to be applied where the quotes “‘”
I confirm – vertex 3 (mine 240GB) works great on MB466 (MB5,1/end of 2008, alu)
Brand Spankin’ new Mac Mini 2.5i5 10.7.1 remote installed from Apple servers on Intel 320 G3 80GB and this worked beautifully (once I read the tip about changing the quotes . . . RIF!) without installing the latest firmware upgrade (can’t get past FreeDOS_ prompt, but that’s a diseased chicken of another color . . .) but no x whatever bug, firmware 4PC10302 still installed, positive trim and 12 second start ups. Thanks!
When I tried to patch to enable TRIM I get this error:
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `.{9}’
You have to replace the squiggly quote marks with straight ones.
Thanks, that worked.

It freezes up my computer every now and then… how can I remove it? I tried everything in your instructions even as far as manual reverting, and it’s still showing TRIM Support: Yes.
Any help would be great.
This is why I recommended backing up – you could simply restore from a Time Machine backup if things went sour. Did you try replacing the quotes in the removal command with straight single quotes?
This might be due to it still cleaning up free space from before TRIM was enabled. Wiping free space would help in that case.
Worked fine with mac mini 2011 and vertex 2 120gb with 1.33 firmware. But I had to do the process from an admin account and altering the quotes.
Worked 1st try w/o any errors! Running Macbook Pro 2009 w/ Intel SSD 320 160gb. Blazingly fast!!
I get the following:
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `.{9}’
Replace the curved quotation marks surrounding the first block (begins with “s” and ends with “sg” with single quotes.
Bought last MBP 17 with a Plextor 256Gb, did work like a sharm. Just the ‘s around the sg’. 2th issue for slow boot is, to tell OSX the new boot disc. setting systems boot disc. Thanks for this post.
I get the same thing
I copied the text from the Word document and pasted it into textedit and then removed all text formatting. After that I replaced the single quotation marks with new single quotation marks. I copied that text, pasted it into terminal. Everything worked for me then.
me too. Do you have fixed?
Just swap out the quotation marks for straight single quotes. WordPress won’t display those.
The document i have downloaded already has single quotation marks and i still get the error message. so i’m not sure what to do now?

Worked like a charm on a MBP 5,2 with OCZ Vertex 2 SSD. The ads on this page cover up a portion of the commands. I highlighted the text from “Backup the file that you’re about to patch:” to “If you decide to try this, let us know how it worked for you in the comments!”, opened TextEdit and copied it into there, replaced the quotation marks with the straight ones, and then copied the commands into Terminal. I also saved the TextEdit document to my Documents folder for future reference if I need the commands again.
Did it, worked.
This worked for me on a fresh install of Lion with a Crucial M4! Thanks Mactrast for helping to prevent crappy SSD performance in the days to come!

Tried this on Lion 7.10.2 and it didn’t work. I used diff to verify that the perl regex replace did indeed replace the “APPLE SSD” with an empty string, but I still get “Trim: No” on the disk info. Using a Corsair Force series SATA II drive in a Mac Pro 1,1.

Didn’t get an error or anything like that, I tried this on a 2011 top custom model 15″ mpb, with an vertec2 ssd, it starts up in under 12 seconds! System profiler still says TRIM is not enabled, and although I know it doesn’t have to say enabled to be enabled, I’m not sure it is.. Before I did this, the SSD was working fine, but I thought it could be better, and now that I enabled TRIM, I think I can see a slight speed improvement, but I’m not sure..
Anyway, thanks for the post!
Worked as described. MBP 13″ Mid 2009 with Corsair Force 3 Series 120 GB.

Very nice. Worked for me. the key is you copy the Terminal Command from the .doc and past it into a TXT file then change the quotes then copy that and past it into the Terminal.
Thank you, worked perfectly, after I changed the quotation marks! 🙂

Awesome… changed to the single quotes, works great. Thanks,
Worked perfectly with a macbook pro 7.1 13″ and OCZ Octane S2.
Watch out as Lion updates might revert the setting to NO as happened on my OCZ Vertex 2. So check the setting after every Software Update.
Does not work with 10.7.5 i use the App Trim Enabler for 10.7.5 and this works.

Eh, just did this after installing an ssd in my mid-2010 macbook pro running Yosemite 10.10. Now it won’t boot from the SSD and that sucks. Now what? Reformat the ssd and re-clone?? ugh.
time ago i had a MacBookPro core2 Duo upgraded from Leopard ram 4GB support –> Snow Leopard ram 8GB support –> Lion 6GB support and finally placed a 120GB Mercury SSD OWC.com. never had problems with the SSD drive.

Does Trim Enabler work in OS X Yosemite?
The answer is Yes, but due to new security features in Yosemite, enabling Trim can cause problems with your OS X installation.
but the APPLE STUPIDITY!!!
you already enabled Trim previously. that is the reason your SSD does not boot.
The kext-signing setting is stored in your Mac’s NVRAM/PRAM, a sort of flash memory inside your Mac. This memory can be reset either by accident or by intention (usually by troubleshooting issues with your hardware), causing kext-signing setting to re-activate.
If you try to boot a Trim-enabled system with the kext-signing setting re-activated, you will be met by a gray screen with a stop sign:
This is your system telling you that a driver has been modified, and is not allowed to load.
To avoid this situation, you can make sure to disable Trim before performing any hardware maintenance or PRAM reset on your Mac. O Mac powered off,
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.Now has cleaned the Bios memory and so dis-activated the Trim.
NOW WILL BOOT NORMALLY!
If you don’t want to disable a security feature! there is no other way to get Trim.
Unfortunately not. It is important to note that disabling the kext-signing to enable Trim is best described as taking a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and for most users it will not be worth it. But I have been unsuccessful in creating a less invasive method to enable Trim, as all of Apple’s AHCI SATA drivers are closed source and undocumented, which makes it impossible for me to create my own Trim driver and get it signed. This is the only alternative for enabling Trim for the moment.
When will you fix this?
This problem will not get fixed unless Apple changes their policy. Have you ever wondered why disk manufacturers like Corsair, Samsung etc. have never written a Trim driver for OS X? Or why they never offer firmware update software to OS X? (The only firmware updates they offer for Mac is a MS-DOS boot CD) The reason is that Apple is keeping the AHCI driver private, making it impossible for anyone, even these big companies, to create a driver for SSD’s.
So the issue is not that Apple “doesn’t allow Trim Enabler”, but that they don’t allow anyone to create AHCI drivers.
If they made public the AHCI driver, I would be able to make Trim Enabler “legit”. Right now, it is impossible. You can read more about the technical issues
I suggest spare the commands in terminal if you don’t know shell well, just use Chameleon SSD Optimizer, and everything works perfectly. I used this tool from Mountain Lion to Yosemite, it never disappoint me.
Quick update for those of you running OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Apple released DP4 (beta 4) a few days ago and I wanted to update everyone that once again, enabling TRIM works with DP4 just like it does on Mountain Lion versions 10.8.3 and 10.8.4.
A quick note for those of you upgrading Mavericks from DP3: You will see that you lost TRIM when upgrading to DP4 in “System Information”, but again, all you need to do is perform the steps I’ve pasted again below for easy reference, to re-enable TRIM on Mavericks DP4 (build 13A524d):
sudo cp /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage.original
(HIT ENTER; ENTER PW (if asked), THEN)
sudo perl -pi -e ‘s|(x52x6Fx74x61x74x69x6Fx6Ex61x6Cx00{1,20})[^x00]{9}(x00{1,20}x54)|$1x00x00x00x00x00x00x00x00x00$2|sg’ /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage
(HIT ENTER and THEN)
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions/
(REBOOT…and you’re done!)
Check in System Information to see that enabling TRIM was successful.
Hey, thanks for this. √
I have a question. I’m intrigued as to why you say that Trim Enabler isn’t as reliable. Is it using different commands? I’d have assumed it was just running these as shell scripts in an application wrapper.
If not, what are they are doing that makes you its not as reliable?
It’s silly to link to a word document. The smartquotes break copy/paste.
Mavericks 10.9.4 and Samsung Evo 120GB
No error.. but doesn’t show TRIM in SSD’s information in System Report.
The report doesn’t even show the “Medium Type: Solid State”, is that to worry about? I have the SSD connected by SATA cables etc (not through USB).
Help please. I have tried these steps, the TRIM Enabler v3 and Multi Beast. None seems to do any effect..
Just to be clear,
this works for any SSD right?
