TRIM and SSD Question

Hi all,
I have just bought:
Crucial CT240M500SSD1 2.5-inch 240GB M500 SATA 6Gb/s Internal Solid State Drive 
for my Macbook pro 2009 model. I plan to install OSX Mountain lion on it (OSX 10.8). I was woundering after reading about TRIM etc, when i have plugged the SSD in, and installed the operating system do i need to enable TRIM or will it be on by default?
Thanks

You certainly can and many do. 
I have my own way of setting up a new drive as shown below.  Mainly because I want a fresh start.
Power down my computer and remove the power charger and dispense static electricity.
1.  Format new SSD or HDD (Mac OS Extended Journaled).  External enclosure is needed for this.
2.  Remove the internal HDD (the one being replaced) (FIRST dispense static electricity).
3.  Install new internal drive (SSD or HDD)
4.  Install OS on new SSD or HDD
5.  Install apps
6.  Connect the drive removed and move data, pictures, videos, etc to the new drive (use external enclosure).
Make sure you have a solid backup of your important data

  • DVD Rom, RAM, and SSD question(s)

    I purchased a nice T400 (6475-B14) on Ebay and I have upgraded a number of items on it to get it to where I want it.
    I upgraded the OS to W7 Pro, put in a Lenovo 4GB RAM stick (now I have a 4GB and a 2GB), and I swapped out the HDD for an Intel X-25 G2 80GB SSD.
    90% of the time the machine is great, however I have run into a few problems and I'm really hoping that someone here can help me.
    The first issue, is the fact that every once in a while the machine can't start.  I end up having to restore the machine using R&R.  I don't know what could be the issue.  I've replaced the OS and HDD so I'm not sure what to do next.  I am by no means a computer expert, but could the mis-matched RAM (1X4GB with 1X2GB) be causing the problem?  I don't mind getting another 4GB stick, but if it won't do anything to fix the issue I don't want to waste the money.
    Number two, I'm trying to burn an image recovery disk, but according to the Nero Tool I can't write with my drive (HL-DT-St DVD-ROM DU10N).  Do I need additional software?  I find it hard to believe that Lenovo would include a drive that only reads and is not capable of writing on DVD or CD, but based on the searches I've done on this forum and others, I can't find any other answer. 
    Lastly, the SSD seems to be working great (I've only had to restore the system once since installing it, see issue number one), but I see in the Lenovo download site there is an ISO file for SSD's.  However since I can't burn a DVD, I can't burn the ISO file.  So my question(s) is/are do I really need the software?  Can I use my Apple Mac Pro at home to burn the ISO file and then use that disk to install the software?
    Sorry for the long, rambling questions, but I have tried to search a number of forums and the internet in general and I haven't been able find the answers.
    Thanks!

    hello mate,
    For your first issue the RAM can be the problem. U can mix different size of RAM but make sure to use DDR3 PC3-8500 or DDR3 PC3-10600 memory. And also the T400 does not support ECC be careful to don't mix ECC and non ECC memory.
    For your second question your HL-DT-St DVD-ROM DU10N is just a DVD ROM reader and it's not capable to write any CD or DVD.
    I don't know about the software for your SSD but if it's an ISO file for windows you can burn it with a mac it won't make a difference. All discs burned on the Mac work across platforms.

  • OSX 10.7, SSDs, TRIM, and so on...

    Okay, so I have played with Windows 7 Home Premium on this wonderful little Booklet 3g for some time now. I hate it.
    I am a Mac guy, through and through, and this will never change.
    I have been running both Linux Mint 11 and Ubuntu 11.04 for the past two weeks and love them on the Booklet 3g, but the same ugly moster rears its head at every turn - the GMA 500 chip. What a lame and disappointing choice!
    I found a Poulsbo driver for Ubuntu that *sort of* works (anecdoatal information - I have yet to try it) and a terminal apt-get command to (I think) install the same exact file in Mint 11. It works, but the cursor flickers non-stop and a lot of the tasty features of the GMA 500 are still locked out. At least the resolution is correct and looks great. Nice!
    So, the main problems with putting on my retail Mac OSX disc (purchased just for such a project) was that the GMA 500 is not supported at all and there is NO SOUND - in OR out! This is a deal breaker for me as I am a musician and use Finale as my killer app. I MUST have working sound.
    So no OSx86 foolishness (ahem - testing) for this Booklet right now. 
    However, Lion is WAY faster than anything ever in the line of OSX versions, AND it now has TRIM support for all Macs. (Recent versions of Snow Leopard have had it for MacBook pros that have the SSD option.)
    With Lion being so cool (multitouch wonders and TRIM) and so fast, the idea of upgrading my Nokia with a decent SSD is now very attractive. And I may reinstall Win7HP, but will probably just stay with Linux Mint 11. If the OSx86 community manages to figure out Lion for this computer I might go that route as well as I would love to make this more comfortable and familiar to me if I am to use it a lot on the road as a Finale box. 
    Questions (after all that - sorry!):
    If I am to use something OTHER THAN WINDOWS as my OS (the most likely scenario for thus netbook) which SSD would be the best choice for me? Does this even matter? I do not know if Mint has TRIM support, but Lion does for certain. Will that affect my choices?
    With the plethora of Linux distros out today, which one seems to work best with this hardware setup? Joli OS (formerly JoliCloud) supports GMA 500 BEAUTIFULLY but is not a full OS. In my experience you have to have a connection even to get to the desktop. It is not cloud-based as they claim, but cloud-centric. If you are offline it is useless, or so my experiences have been. I HOPE this is incorrect as I really like the Joli OS quite a lot. Mint is do-able with tweaks for the GMA 500. Eveything else *just works* as it should. I like it. Any reason to change?
    TRIM support is really needed isn't it? I do not fully understand it, but am stoked that the Mac OS now comes with it. Now I can try SSDs in my new iMac 27" i5 (it has the capability but is probably not fun to install. I will have to see about this.
    Thanks for reading this rambling post. I have a lot of great ideas for this netbook, but because of the GMA 500 chip it seems like a lot of interest has waned. Shame about the RAM, too. What an idiotic idea. Oh, and the PATA/SATA bridge. Oh, dear. Maybe I need to sell this thing after all... ;-)

  • SSD Trim and recovery software

    I have a crucial MX100 512G ssd and I know the windows 10 SSD optimize tool is SSD trim. However, after I ran the SSD optimization showing 100% trimmed, I noticed the trim didn't work because I could still recover my deleted files via data recovery software ( such as disk drill and others). Does it mean TRIM function will not wipe the block unless I do secure erase on the SSD, and people can still recover their deleted files even the SSD has TRIM function?  I thought if SSD has TRIM, deleted data could not be recovered. ( I even left the computer idle over night, and I could still recover the files I deleted). 

    dummykid, have you checked files integrity after the recovery? That is, for example, if you have recovered .jpg file with a photo were the photo viewable?
    The main function of TRIM is not to make data unrecoverable. Making data unrecoverable is a side effect of TRIM, one could say. 
    When a file is deleted from the drive the space it used to occupy should be TRIMmed and usually it occurs very fast. Recovery tools however, can still usually find the file with its name and attributes (size). This is because some data about old/deleted files can still be left in MFT (master file table) area.
    When you delete data from the drive TRIM sends information to the SSD controller to help it clear the corresponding NAND parts. But I belive that the MFT works the same way with or without TRIM, that is it still stores some data related to deleted files, like name and size. But it is file content you really want to recover, not the file name and attributes only. Recovery tool will find the name and attributes of the file and it will recreate that file with the data taken from the drive, but the data itself can be completely different from the original or even empty. Check that out!
    On my SSD I can 'recover' many photos (.jpg files) but they are unreadable, some of them have some random data and some have no data inside.

  • Question about the difference between HDDs and SSDs

    Hi. I currently have a MacBook (Black one) that's overheating a lot for the past few months. I'm thinking about purchasing a MacBook Pro for school because it seems to be more stable. I have a question though. What is the difference between HDDs and SSDs? Which one is better? All I know is that with my MacBook and my iBook is that I had hard drive failures (iBook hard drive clicking, MacBook hard drive sounding loud and making my computer overheat). Are hard drive failures normal with Macs?
    Thank you

    Depends what you mean by "better." Faster? Yes. The 500 has 3x more storage capacity.

  • ADMs, SSD and Noise questions

    Hi,
    Does anyone here have a current generation xserve that they could vouch for in terms of noise compared to a mac pro?
    I've got two 1TB drives (enterprise drives, SATA) right now and I'd love to just throw them in the xserve, is that possible or do I need sleds from apple?
    SSD, can it be added later by apple or IT staff, or does it have to be ordered with the machine (built in?)
    Thanks

    Here's the Xserve versus Mac Pro acoustical output (decibel, dB) discussion mentioned: [messageID=9292211|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9292211]
    As for your question on drive compatibility and swaps, that's been the subject of a number of discussions around disks and sleds and drive compatibility; dig around a little. A particular storage widget might work flawlessly, it might mostly work just fine, it might be a little flaky, or it might not work at all. Most drive swaps "mostly work" or better, but I've seen both extremes of that range. Check the other discussions.
    No one can predict the compatibility of a third-party drive. Usual or normal or likely, yes. But whether it works or not takes testing. And most third-party drives won't match up with SMART reporting for errors and such; that area tends to be very vendor-specific.
    As for your SSD question, the Xserve disk drives (and ignoring third-party compatibility discussions here) are usually a trivially easy swap. If you'd like to know if Apple has those now available aftermarket and specifically with end-user installation, ask Apple.
    There's some value in the extra cost of the vendor drives; you're paying the vendor to perform the compatibility testing and support. Or you get to pay that cost for your own integration and testing, if you follow that path.

  • New MBP and SSD problems?

    Ok, so I installed an Intel SSD in my new MBP( I am eventually getting the MCE OptiBay to put my regular HDD back in. Here's the thing...Every time I run Boot Camp Assistant, and click to install Windows...it restarts...grey screen, then...flashing folder with question mark. Any ideas?? I've reinstalled OSX on this drive twice now. There seems to be nothing wrong with the drive because OSX installed and runs fine on it. What's going on? Do the new MBP's need a new Boot Camp update, or something?

    Intel 2G SSD? Did you remove the 'mechanical' drive for now?
    There were problems in the past with Intel and with 3rd party SSDs.
    What I would like you to try doing is use the mechanical drive for now for OS X if possible, and disconnect it, and with just the SSD in there (pretty hard I guess???) forget using BCA, and boot Windows 7 DVD and have at it.
    Firmware on Mac's, firmware on Intel SSD...
    I assume holding Option/Alt on startup doesn't work either.
    10.6.6 did a couple things, still no idea why:
    Wants to download drivers to CD (broken);
    Takes longer to boot back to OS X (no idea);
    OS X reports to be running slower than before.
    OS X still lacks TRIM for SSD and OS X suffers (still faster but not what it should be).
    Oh, what version of Windows? you may need Windows 7, and if you bought it from school or electronic download, did you have to burn ISO to disc? That can act or behave in odd ways like this.

  • HDD and SSD trouble

    Hi!
    A couple of days ago I left my Macbook Pro 13 inch Mid 2012 at my desk for a couple of minutes. When I returned it showed a grey screen with a folder icon and a question mark within this icon. I remember not putting it down smoothly but more or less dropping it on my desk. Restarts did not work and after searching the web for the meaning of the error icon, I figured that my hard drive must have failed.
    I also have an external hard disk which I use for storage of some video files/projects. I took this hard disk out of the casing and also removed the internal hard disk from my Macbook. I placed the external hard disk in my Macbook, and I placed my former internal hard disk in the casing of my external hard disk drive. I then restarted my Macbook holding down the Alt-key. I was again able to boot OS X through the USB connected hard disk. In finder, my former external hard disk, now connected internally, also showed up. All files were accessible and it showed no sign of faulty internal connection.
    My guess is, after reading through several threads on multiple fora, that the SATA cable in my Macbook might be faulty. It doesn't make sense that it does work for my external storage disk, but doesn't for the original start up disk. On the other hand,  I've read that it can be more sensitive for different hard disks.
    Now, due to all these problems, I thought it was a great idea to finally buy an SSD, as I was planning on upgrading to SSD anyways. I bought a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD Drive. As I already expected, the SSD wasn't recognised by the internal SATA connector. Then I booted using my original hard drive connected using my external hard drive SATA to USB connector, and plugged in my SSD using the Samsung SATA to USB connector. I did a fresh installation of Yosemite on the SSD. I tried booting Yosemite from the SSD using the internal SATA but no luck. So what it comes down to: I can only boot the two drives (my original boot disk and my fresh Yosemite SSD) using the external hard disk SATA to USB connector.
                             Storage Device >

    I then tried to update the firmware of the SSD: made a bootable DVD with the Samsung firmware update and tried to boot from it. Now here a strange thing happens. The boot DVD will only boot when the internal SATA connector is connected to a hard disk, so at the moment it will only boot when the internal drive is my former external hard drive (this is the only one that works internally). When the firmware update runs, it says that no Samsung SSD is found, while it is plugged in via USB.
    I've read things about Trim Enabler and for some reason I used this utility and its currently set on 'on'. I don't know if this is important but I guess the more information the better.
    Now, my questions related to this story are:
    1. I'm currently running Yosemite from an USB plugged storage device. This is obviously not very comfortable. What might be the issue for not being able to boot from the SSD when internally connected to the SATA port?
    2. The SSD firmware won't detect the USB connected SSD. How can this be possible? I will also contact Samsung for this issue.
    I really hope someone can help me out, because currently I'm not exactly sure what the problem is

    Dirk

    Hey guys, just picked up a Z68a-G45 (G3) and I'm currently running the following hardware on it:
    i5 3570k 3.4ghz at 95w (I have verified that the mobo is compatible with this chip) with stock cooler
    1 DIMM of 4gb Kingston HyperX ddr3 1600 ram
    OCZ ZT series 750 watt modular PSU
    I currently have the graphics card, SSD, HDD, and CD-ROM out for trouble shooting purposes.
    Currently, when I start her up it thinks for a second, powers up, fans spin, and then after a few seconds it dies and restarts.
    I went down to 1 DIMM, cleared CMOS, checked for bent pins, even tried a different PSU all with the same result. Is this likely due to the board?
    Thanks!
    Verified how exactly? Yes that CPU is compatible, but only when an Ivy UEFI/BIOS update has been performed.

  • Mac pro first generation and SSD

    Hi,
    I want to add 1 or 2 SSD's to my first generation mac pro. I'm still running leopard, and want to keep that version.
    Which brand works best with mac ?
    And what about the trim function ? Is this implemented in OSX ?

    Excellent questions, I too am looking at SSD.
    Some things I know about SSD:
    1. Intel recently released new firmware for their SSD drives to improve long term performance including Trim/Garbage collection.
    2. SSD drives can be setup as SLC or MLC - SLC is faster read 2X, write 4X over MLC, however SLC is smaller capacity. SLC also has a longer life span.
    3. Intel plans to have an 320GB X25-M (MLC) and a 128GB X25-E (SLC) out soon.
    OSX does not fully support Trim and I'm not aware of any 3rd party software for OSX that helps in the garbage collection area. Diskeeper 2010 for Windows 7 provides full support for all variants of SSD, but nothing on the Mac side.
    I'm probably going to wait for 2010 to see what comes out, SSD appears to be good news, but it still also seems to have issues. Given the cost of these drivers and the frequent firmware updates, a wait and see is my choice.
    I've thought about going with a SAS RAID controller and 15K RAID drivers, but the cost/performance ratio comes out about the same and the 15K drives are noisey and power hungry but they're a "known" entity.

  • Upgrade 2009 base line Mac Mini with aftermarket RAM and SSD!

    Hello people,
    I'm looking to buy a 2009 Mac Mini (base line, 120GB hdd and 1GB of RAM) and was looking to upgrade it with aftermarket RAM (http://corsair.com/products/mac/default.aspx ) to 4GB (2x2GB) Corsair and with an Intel X25-M SSD, most probably an 80GB drive.
    And now comes my question: Based on your experience do you know a better match of aftermarket memmory and SSDs with the Mac Mini?!
    Also i've read that using an Intel SSD X-25M to hook up an Windows XP machine (either bootcamp or VM) is impossible since Windows XP doesn't recognize the SSD. Is this correct? (I need XP in VMware to access an old app that's windows based only, and NO wine sadly doesn't work).
    Thank you,

  • Enable TRIM on SSD Mac OS X Mountain Lion

    I recently purchased and installed a Samsung SSD 840 Pro series on my MacBook Pro. I was reading up on SSDs and I heard something about enabling TRIM and how it makes the SSD last longer. How can I enable TRIM on my SSD on my MacBook Pro that's running Mac OS X Mountain Lion?

    TRIM is necessary as SSD have limited writes, so the new written data has to go to a  less frequently used spot on the SSD.
    It's a real shame Apple doesn't automatically enable TRIM on non-Apple SSD's, it knows when it formats it that it's one as it won't enable scrubbing.

  • 3D drive guard and SSD

    I installed an SSD as my primary hard drive and moved the orignal mechanical hard drive in place of the optical drive.
    1) 3D drive guard is still installed and active. Will this cause a problem on the SSD or should I uninstall the 3D drive guard?
    2) Does 3D drive guard also act on the secondary drive, which as stated above, is a mechanical hard drive?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    @Massimo1 ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  Well first off 3D drive guard is there to protect damage to your hard drives sweep arm and plates.  So an SSD, having no mechanical parts will have no need of this.   It would have been better for you to leave the original configuration as it was and put the SSD in the secondary.  If you ever need to send your notebook in for repair you will want to remove the SSD.  In most cases it will not come back.
    As far as the main drive in the second bay I am not sure if it will respond to the secondary drive. 
    On top of that now that you are running and SSD you will want to avoid defragmenting this drive.
    Here is a link that may be of some help.

  • NB305 and SSD

    I recently purchased an NB305 for use at work (need the portability and battery life)
    I have a question regarding it. I'd love to install a 128GB Kingston SSDNow V-Series drive to both improve performance and battery life.
    My questions are, will this SSD fit/work?
    Will it give me a decent increase in performance? (the SSDs in my desktop are marvellous)
    Will it improve battery life?
    The reason I ask what should otherwise be some easy to answer questions, is that the specific data sheets for the HDD and SSD are as follows:
    The Hitachi HTS545025B9A300 (5K500.B) drive icurrently in my laptop:
    Power Specs Active: 1.4W read/write power
    0.5W low power idle
    875 Mbps (109.38MBps)
    and the Kingston SSD Now V-Series SNV125-S2/128GB 2.5" :
    Power Specs Active: 5.2W (TYP)
    Sleep: 0.7W (TYP)
    Sequential Speed**
    ~1600Mbps (200MBps). read; 160MB/sec. write
    Now looking at that, the SSD is indeed a lot faster, but seems to come at a cost - it uses over 3 times the power!
    Can that be correct? (and even idle is higher!)
    The stated figures are from the respective manufacturers websites/pdfs so one would think they'd be fairly accurate.
    Sure, the SSD's nearly twice as fast - but 'apparently' uses over three times the power!
    I welcome any thoughts.
    Cheers,
    Rick

    >My questions are, will this SSD fit/work?
    Why not? The SSD drives are not different from HDDs I think you will need an SATA SSD since the NB300 series supports an SATA HDD controller
    >Will it give me a decent increase in performance?
    Well, the data access should be faster and therefore you should notice a better performance but to be honest the NB300 is a notebook where such small performance increases would not be really important
    >Will it improve battery life?
    Hmm maybe but if yes then an improvement would not be really noticeable since the HDD is not the main part which wastes the battery power

    Smiley face with a ? means a bootable system is not found.
    There maybe  a problem with either system software or hard drive itself.

  • Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blueray and SSD drive?

    HI all,
    Can I upgrade my HP ENVY 14 DR DRE Laptop to a blue ray and SSD drive?
    cheers

    You can upgrade from HDD to SSD drive, but will not recommend it as it will void the warranty on the unit.
    Pertaining to  bluray drive, you might have some compatibility issues unless you find the right model.
    Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
    Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer “Accept as Solution” if it solves your problem.
