This entire Mojave business has me looking at myself a bit more closely in the mirror lately. It didn't stick too tightly in my brain because I don't have any fusion drives. They take perhaps 10-15 seconds longer to boot, but I don't think that's shaggy at all.ĭon't quote me, but I believe I read somewhere on OWC's site that the Fusion drive issue with Mojave has been ironed out. But I had to deal with Terminal with Sierra to get the Adobe stuff to work as well, so I suppose that doesn't count.Īs a matter of fact, I can boot from either of the two clones I keep of my MBP's system, and they perform quite nicely, even though both are 7,200 rpm HDDs and are connected via USB 3. Other than having to do a little dance with Terminal to get Adobe CS stuff installed and working properly, I've had nary a hiccup. With Mojave on my MBP, I have seen a nice little performance boost going directly there from Sierra 10.12.6. Everyone's systems are unique unto themselves, and as the old saying goes, "your mileage may vary." Of course this was performing tasks with Premiere that are often time consuming in the first place.Īll the rocks I've thrown at High Sierra are cast based purely on my own personal experience with it. HS was like the geriatric customer in front of you at Krogers who insists on paying exact change, can't find their change purse, counts out one bill and coin at a time, has to restart counting a couple of times, then says, "hell with it, I'll write a check," then has to fish around for what seems like an eternity to find the checkbook, can't find a pen, then can't find a pen that works. That said, I think Sierra was absolutely outstanding from a stability perspective. At least by any appreciable measure from my perspective.Īside from the early security issues, which I was never personally satisfied about being really resolved, HS simply never demonstrated itself as being as stable as either of its last two OS predecessors. I installed it only on an external drive on a USB 3 bus and later put it in a Thunderbolt enclosure to see if that helped speed it up. Then again, I kept my experience with HS quite limited.

I think it's a cat turd rolled in cracker crumbs. I think my feelings about HS have been made pretty clear before. Click to expand.I can't specifically address the speed increase issue as far as High Sierra v. Perhaps a call to Apple Care is warranted here since I did actually pay for it. It is is automatically turned on for the Apple internal drive then perhaps using TRIMforce to turn TRIM off will not also turn it off on my internal drive. Then the command might turn TRIM off on both the external and internal drives and I did not want it turned off for the internal drive. I had already read about the TRIMforce command, but my concern was that if I ran it on my machine and it caused problems on my external drive I would then have to run it again to turn TRIM off. Once with an email, once with a submitted form on their website and once via voice mail, but never got a response to any of the contacts, so I don't think that asking them if they support TRIM would be a worthwhile exercise. I contacted pny technical support (ha, ha) 3 times.

The external ssd is one of those very small pny drives (which I actually taped to the top of my MBA so it was always available) and I have no idea if it supports TRIM or if there is any driver to enable it for the drive. I ran it on my system and, like you, did not find it mentioned on my external ssd. I checked a fair number of google pages (and the App Store) but could not find any apps that enable TRIM on an external usb drive hence this post.Īre there any apps that enable/disable TRIM on external usb drives? Is there any way to find out if my current external ssds support TRIM? Are there any dangers if I enable TRIM on the external drives and they do not support TRIM? I am sure there are other questions that I am not knowledgeable enough to ask.Īny help would be appreciated. I worry that if I issue that on my MBA and find that the external ssd does handle TRIM well, then my only choice would be to disable TRIM on all of the drives and thus lose it on my main (but small) internal ssd. I did some online checking and found the OS X trimforce command, but that seems to enable or disable TRIM on all of the drives on any machine it is running on. I do not know if TRIM is activated on either of them nor if TRIM can or should be actived on either of them.

I have a 500GB usb 3 solid state drive (an internal ssd added to a ssd-optimized enclosure) that I use to store the digital camera images I am working on attached to my Mac Mini and a 240GB usb 3 solid state drive for general storage for my MacBook Air. I use external usb sold state drives to add fast memory to my Macs.
