Is this what Apple wants to be known for? At the very least the installation should detect if an appropriate SSD is present before attempting to install and notify the user if there’s a problem.

For professional environments and pro video it is even more troublesome and it puts vital data and creative projects at risk. "To have an official installation of OS-X simply stop working when upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite is unacceptable for any user. "I have to say I’m extremely disappointed by Apple with this," writes Andrew Reid on the DSLR filmmaker site EOSHD.

The blog post also outlines how users locked out of their Macs following an upgrade can get back into their systems. This is the only alternative for enabling Trim for the moment."

"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. "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," writes Cindori Software. However, if you rely on third-party SSDs, it's your only hope. The Trim Enabler software has been updated so that it can disable kext signing, but this is a global setting, and disables an otherwise useful security feature. This is a means of enforcing security, but also a way for Apple to control what hardware that third-party developers can release OS X support for."

"If they have been modified, Yosemite will no longer load the driver. "Kext signing basically works by checking if all the drivers in the system are unaltered by a third party, or approved by Apple," wrote Cindori Software on its blog. A kext is an OS X kernel extension, or a driver.Įnabling TRIM is one of the best ways to maximize the life of a solid-state drive, but OS X doesn't support it out-of-the-box except for Apple's own drives, but until now it has been possible to enable it by altering drivers, although that has never been officially sanctioned by Apple.
