OS X 10.10.4 update arrives with command for accessory drives

Four years after the release of TRIM support for solid-state drives for the first OS X release, Apple is incorporating a new command for these accessory drives, and it will be part of the new OS X 10.10.4 update that came out on Tuesday of this week.

Before this latest change, Apple only allowed TRIM on original Mac SSDs, but with the new TRIM support for SSDs, it will now be available for third-party drives . This new OS X promises to be a great system, not only because of what's immediately apparent, but also because of the minute details that are gradually being revealed.

The OS X 10.10.4 update will feature TRIM support for third-party drives

As Apple customers and some developers have discovered, the new OS X 10.10.4 beta allows for easy activation of TRIM support on third-party drives. Of course, this doesn't mean it wasn't possible before, as the "TRIM Enabler" app already enabled the connection, but with this week's Apple update, OS X 10.10.4 makes the connection simple.

The developers of “TRIM Enables” have even mentioned that Apple's new approach will positively influence them, and that they themselves will follow suit and improve their app to easily activate TRIM on third-party SSDs without risking system activation or drive support issues.

Therefore, users expect the new update to directly enable the connection without needing to resort to the old methods. This change will be significant for Apple users who previously had to use unauthorized solutions or software to connect SSDs to third-party devices.
