Two items you will run into when installing Trim is buy the $10 Trim Pro. It avoids some of the funky stuff you see on line about the program. Second the security setting on your Mac will not allow the program to be installed as the developer never registered with Apple. Protection against Malware. You will have to open the file using the Finder and then holding downy the control key to override the security setting for the program. I have been using on my 500 Gig SSD and it seems to be working well. Another item every time there is a software OS upgrade the Trim will have to be restarted. There is an option in the Pro Setting to give you a notice if it stops running.
