Shiki Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hi Guy, I'm wondering if many users tried out SSD on lion? I read up topics in internet that lion do support TRIM but, only on APPLE SSD. Hence i tried patching the Kext to remove the string "APPLE SSD" to Zero. But it doesn't seems to work for my SSD (ADATA S510), maybe this model is too old. /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage Anyone can share your experience?

The spec of my SSD ADATA S510 showed that it do support trim. http://www.adata.com...eet-S510-EN.pdf I think i need to run other apps to dig detail spec of this ssd :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiki Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hi Leon, I went to dual boot Win7 and installed the HD Tune pro trial, the info indicated this SSD do TRIM support. Thinking back , i was wondering is it my D620 - AHCI unable to support the TRIM ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Leon Posted November 20, 2011 Administrators Share Posted November 20, 2011 I dont think machine support is needed for TRIM, just HD and OS.. atleast thats how i understand the specification.. try and look up your HD model number and have a look at the vendor spec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the OS can't detect the SSD. :/ I wonder is there anything i went wrong on lion installation ? Any D620 Lion on SSD user out there ??

The below is the diskutil info /dev/disk0 on my SSD, there should be one more row mention " Solid Sate: Yes / NO " and it's missing from my Lion, hence maybe some drivers are missing or it can't detect my SSD due to compatible issue shiki-win7pc:~ shiki$ diskutil info /dev/disk0 Device Identifier: disk0 Device Node: /dev/disk0 Part of Whole: disk0 Device / Media Name: ADATA SSD S510 120GB Volume Name: Not applicable (no file system) Mounted: Not applicable (no file system) File System: None Content (IOContent): GUID_partition_scheme OS Can Be Installed: No Media Type: Generic Protocol: SATA SMART Status: Verified Total Size: 120.0 GB (120034123776 Bytes) (exactly 234441648 512-Byte-Blocks) Volume Free Space: Not applicable (no file system) Device Block Size: 512 Bytes Read-Only Media: No Read-Only Volume: Not applicable (no file system) Ejectable: No Whole: Yes Internal: Yes OS 9 Drivers: No Low Level Format: Not supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
