Dogma36 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hello, I am on a mac pro 5,1 under OS X El Capitan 10.11.4 recently I had installed can Angelbird SSD that didn't required any third party software to function, the SSD was recognized as a native mac pro disk, I have a Crucial MX100 SSD that I want to install also, but the Crucial MX100 will work natively as the Angelbird SSD, can anyone please provide information on how can I use the Crucial MX100 SSD safely along the Angelbird SSD?. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needy Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hey,It'll work as fine as the other one, what I mean is that the system will detect it and you'll be able to store data on it. However, the only thing that may not be supported is the TRIM support, but you can easily check that in Apple menu -> about this mac -> system report -> SATA/SATA ... -> select the Crucial MX100 SSD and look below there will be a line saying TRIM support = YES or NO.You can find more information about SSDs following the link below. http://computers.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-check-and-enable-trim-on-a-mac-ssd--mac-60738 Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello there, Thanks for your time and help, so, if I use "Trim force" the SSD will work fine and I avoid the use of third party software like Trim enabler?. Would you please explain the procedure to enable Trim force?. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riley Freeman Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Just open Terminal and type: sudo trimforce enable Then reboot and check your SSD in System Profiler. You'll see that trim is now enabled. I just remembered that certain SSDs had potential issues with trim on Linux and there was some concern that this would also apply to OS X. I don't know how that ended up as my older Crucial M4 wasn't on the list and works fine with trim enabled. Your MX100 is on this list so I guess you could enable it and see how things go. If you find you're having issues just run sudo trimforce disable to revert. http://www.howtogeek.com/222077/how-to-enable-trim-for-third-party-ssds-on-mac-os-x/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
