Hi Folks,


I am run out of ideas trying to get trim working on my Hackintosh.


My specs are :


Asus P5G41TM LX

Dual Core 7500 CPU

8 Gb DDR 3 Ram

Asus EN 210 1024Mb Graphics card

SanDisk SDSSDHII120G

Yosemite 10.10.5 created with #####


Other SSD Drives ( borrowed from friends ) tried include :

120 GB Patriot Blaze/120 GB SSD Integral/120 GB Intel 520 Series

Other OSX include El Capitan and Sierra ( both too unstable at this time, but hope to sort out later )

Screen Shot is as follows:

179664-0a13849f655529bd47b46820446d4e43.

 

Tried "Sudo Trimforce enable :



I have also tried options 2 and 4 in this guide on a previously unstable install

Many thanks for all the replies,

 

Sorry Herve, for not finding any reference to the controller issues, but i did spend several days looking through posts with regard to successful installs of Yosemite/El Capitan on this motherboard with a SSD drive, but did not come across anyone who mentioned trim not working.

 

I also generally researched trim problems but again never found any mention of ICH7 controller limitations.

 

My main aim is to try and get a stable install with trim working just to have a play with OSX. I have a number of older parts lying around, all socket 775/AMD so i was hoping to use them in my hackintosh build.

If i use the setup without trim will it cause any issues?

Due to long term health problems money is tight so i am unable to splash out on a more up to date setup.

 

I do however have a Startech pexsata221 controller card which shows trim enabled when attached as a secondary drive but fails to boot when attached to the primary SSD drive.

It seems like more research is on the horizon.

 

Sata III would be nice to try but is not critical at this time.

 

If i cannot get this card working can you suggest an alternative sata controller card or would this board solve the problem.?

I can pick one up for £ 25.00 though i do realise the board is only sata ii and is not really a step forward.

 

Thanks again for all the replies and advice.

 

Darrell
