How does the T3 handle TRIM with SSD under OSX Yosemite?
1240861
I may be misunderstanding the question, but TRIM is a SSD-specific protocol related to internal drive cleanup. The CalDigit T3 contains 3.5" traditional spinning/mechanical HDD's, so TRIM support isn't something that would affect the T3. Again, I could be off-base, but I think the two things (TRIM & the T3) are mutually exclusive.

None but its independent of the os so it should function like any other jump drive

I have not upgraded to Yosemite for this reason. Transcend says they will update their toolbox to provide support for Yosemite, but, not available yet. There is a company offering a Trim Enabler (http://www.cindori.org/trim-enabler-and-yosemite/) They have a good description at this web site.

Hi there, I do not think so, Apple has used a certain type of connector, look up OWC ssd upgrades they should have info on Mac ssd upgrades

Apple has instituted a driver signing system in 10.10 called kext signing, or kernel extension signing. It prevents drivers other than Apple's from loading. You can disable kext signing with a script and enable trim using the script here: https://gist.github.com/slagdang/4485183However, you probably are better just living with no trim. This is because, at intervals, Yosemite will re-enable kext signing and your system will not boot. You have to go into recovery mode and do some rig-a-mo-role.Your non-trimmed drive will probably be fine for the time most people keep computers.Other than trim not being enabled, it seems to work fine with Yosemite.

I run Yosemite 10.10.2 and have not noticed any difference in boot times (my disk connects via Thunderbolt 1.0, not USB 3.0). It does take the drive several seconds to boot up and become available after it goes to sleep (which is very annoying). The drive is fairly quick to go to sleep after non-use and I regularly have to wait for it to become available again. But it did that with Mountain Lion and Mavericks, too. Despite having to wait for it to wake from sleep I am quite happy with the drive. Having 8TB of space with super-fast data transfer is a joy.

For SATA III in am getting over 460 MB/s read and write to an internal SSD on Yosemite. (Intel 730 Series SSD)

It's compatible with any SATA equipped Mac, which means you are good to go. Just make sure you have TRIM enabled after installing it on OS X. The utility I use is called Trim Enabler.With regards to the previous poster's comment, I've taken my Mac apart many times now and I've never had a problem. iFixIt has great tutorials for every Mac that covers how to disassemble your laptop safely. I recommend printing out their guide's and then putting the screws on top of the guide's pictures, so you know where to put them back.

Not in my opinion. I recently replaced the hard drive in a older 3.0 iMac. General I/O performance was greatly improved over typical hard drive speeds. Hope you have maxed out your RAM as well, because the combo of SSD and RAM work together to improve IO performance. Another added benefit is that if you buy a SATA 6Gb/s capable drive, when you do upgrade your computer, you will be able to use this drive with that computer at 6 Gb/s.s.

Windows XP doesn't support TRIM functions. If you use Windows XP with any SSD, the SSD will degrade performance (slow down) and won't last long. Windows 7 and 8 supports TRIM, that is after the files were deleted, the OS will send deleted information to SSD, the SSD will erase those unused blocks in the background - this is called garbage collection. As a results, the SSD will perform faster and the SSD last longer. There may be some third party disk software to do similar TRIM functions, but you must run the disk software manually each month or each week depending upon your usage.

Hello Matthew, I unfortunatelly cannot answer your question because I am using this drive in a Mac. The system is completely different and has been implemented to use this drive. At the mac I get 6GB put through and the system itself manages the SSD part of the drive. I have no idea if or how Windows will take advantage of it. Sorry.

Summary: all functional tests were fine but no speed tests. Used it with a Samsung 840 Pro SSD, 256GB. Tried it first on a Windows 7 machine to delete the partitions. Moved it to an iMac with Mavericks and installed OSX to run externally on the drive. The machine boots and loads software much faster through the external USB port with this case/drive than from the internal 7200 RPM drive. While a SSD is faster than the hard drive, the internal SATA port is much faster than USB3. It comes with a Y cable, one for the USB signal connection and a second thinner cable for extra power. The power cable is not needed with the SSD and I suspect it would not be needed with one of the slower 2.5" hard drives.

The T3 is not available without drives. There is a 2.8TB model with SSD's available.

Yes it is.....when you get the drive reformat it to Mac os extended journal
