OS X Yosemite has disabled third-party TRIM enabler kernel extensions. Does this drive have sufficient load leveling without TRIM?

sorry not to answer your question directly but be I wanted to warn you that this drive only lasted 10 months before dying when installed on a macbook pro 2010 model. if you comb through other reviews you'll see the same report by others.

I don't think there's anything special about this drive that would make installing OSX difficult, I put 10.8 on mine just fine. Make sure you partition/format it first with Disk Utility so it has a GUID partition table and Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.

Working for me under 10.10.4 on a MacPro4,1. I have not noticed appreciable slowdown.

Not 100% certain. I"m on OSX 10.7.5 and no problems. I don't think that there are any OS related restriction and 10.6.8 is recent enough that it should be ok. You might want to check the apple boards to see if anyone can answer for certain.

Has anyone successfully used the r800 on a MacBook Pro running OSX Yosemite 10.10?

This drive is compatible with Mac OSX 10.8, so I imagine there are no problems with somewhat earlier releases of OSX like what you have. I always do my own drive reformatting/partitioning since drives arrive from the factory in Apple Partition Map/APM partitioning (because it's compatible with the old PowerPC based Macs), but I prefer the GUID Partition table/GPT partitioning scheme because it's what's required to boot from an Intel-based Mac (all Macs for the last several years). All of these can be easily changed with the "Disk Utility" software that comes with every Mac. You can reformat, repartition, etc. In any case, even if you don't repartition or reformat it should work just fine with your Mac

It would not work on the MAC OS before Yosemite. I have not tried it on this release.

I'll have to answer that in two parts: first, as long as you order the correct memory, it should definitely fit and work in your system; as to whether it will solve the speed issues, the parts of Yosemite that are memory hogs will be helped by adding memory, but there are also other issues, such as net access that memory can't solve. I hope this answers your question.

Yes, I was using it with Mavericks, I've now upgraded to Yosemite but haven't used this with it yet.

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/4485183 However, 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 install it while running Mavericks and it worked fine. I updated to Yosemite when it was released, and it's still working for me without any updates from inateck.Mac Pro (Early 2008) 2 X 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon.

If this helps, mine is running on the Mac Pro 1,1 Quad-Core (MA356*/A) and handles Yosemite perfectly.

This SSD works perfectly on a Mac. After install you want to search Google for a tool called "Trim Enabler" this will enable the built-in trim in OSX for third party Solid State Drives. Trim Enabler is found on a site called groths.org (I have no affiliation with the software, I have just used it many time with good success).

Hello Jason, I'm Jewel with Kingston Technical Support. The DTLPG3 is compatible with Mac OSX Yosemite and we do have an update for the DTLPG2 which allows it to work properly as well. The updater only runs on Windows and wipes the drive in order to update the launcher program. If you need this update, please contact us so we can send it to you. If you do not have access to a Windows computer, please contact us so we can look into other options. Please call us at 1-800-435-0640 (USA and Canada only) M - F 6am - 6pm PT and I or another available Technician will assist you. Thank you for selecting Kingston as your upgrade partner.

I've never found anything that it won't run. I recently updated the OS to Yosemite, and it runs perfectly.

I have no clue, their customer service was nice until I asked about Yosemite. They couldn't give me an eta for Yosemite support and suggested that I return the product. Considering the premium you're paying, this is not the level support I'd expect.
