Very good, I wish this had happened a month ago because I made a Fusion drive out of my existing SSD and a 4Tb drive. If I'd had any idea this was going to happen, I'd have waited and replaced the 250Gb SSD with a larger one.

It came about because people were forming awareness, bombarding Apple feedback and Apple sites covering all the discussions for lack of SSD support until they caved.

It's been going on for 6 - 8 months.

I dangerously managed to enable trim on an 850 Evo... I've got another 3 at the office I was thinking about doing but I'm a bit worried with so many reports of them bricking.

I installed a 1TB Samsung 840 evo drive in my MacBook Pro near the end of last year. I didn't bother going down the route of trying to enable TRIM via the alternative approaches on MacOS X. I had enabled it on the Windows 8.1 bootcamp partition.

Since this has become available on MacOS 10.10.4, I have enabled it and everything appears fine.

What is the impact of the LBA sections on the SSD have have been written to or deleted from the end of last year till the point that TRIM has been enabled? Is there anything to worry about it here or should I just ignore it?
