    Hi, i just bought a Samsung EVO PRO 250 GB SSD for OSX. I was browsing into the net how to enable TRIM when i found this:

    HEED THE DATA LOSS WARNING!There are a number of extremely buggy SSD models out there (like almost all the Samsung 8* and various Crucial models) that will permanently delete the wrong data ('https://blog.algolia.com/when-solid-state-drives-are-not-that-solid/') when issuing TRIM commands.The bug is not dependent on queued TRIM, it happens even when using the non-queued version.All the Samsung SSDs beginning with a "8" (840 and 850, both EVO and Pro) are known to have the data-destroying TRIM bug and TRIM is blacklisted on those drives on other platforms.

    Since it's talking about the exact same model i'm getting should i enable TRIM or no? Which are the real benefit with TRIM, Are you guys using TRIM with your SSD?

    Thanks

    OS X is not Linux, just UNIX
    yes, enable TRIM and forget all that propaganda

    if you value your data, remember to clone your SSD monthly.
    because when it dies, no forensic expert can recover it.

    got Mavericks on a 830 sammy, TRIM=yes, no problemo

    Both my iMac´s have Samsung 840 And 850 Evos SSD drives for over a year now. No issues so far with trim enabled on OS X 10.9.5 & 10.10.5.

    Yes, I would highly recommend enabling trim. When I didn't do it with my Samsung SSD, it lagged my system and lead to it crashing several times.

    I have Samsung EVO and TRIM is enabled. I haven't had one problem since getting it over a year ago. I push the crap out of it too.
