Hi Anne, This is an apple SSD that came with a 2011 macbook pro. Late in 2012 that computer met an unfortunate demise, but thae hard drive was undamaged. I had the old drive professionally installed into this macbook and it has been a workhorse, often running 24/7 for weeks or months at a time. If it died today, I wouldn't feel it owed me anything.
I've never heard of trim enabler but I will google it and see what I can find out. I'll also have a glance at activity monitor. I wonder, can I sort apps by the amount of disk space each requires?
