SSDs wear down just like a battery, even if they take much longer to wear down. Most of them are just rebranded by apple. It shouldn't make a big difference if a difference at all. Does anyone know if Windows 10 is able to determine that the SSD is doing its own garbage collection and therefore shouldn't have TRIM enabled on it? I know you don't want TRIM enabled on an SSD that does its own garbage collection, which is why I ask.Īny information here would be most appreciated! Thanks! I know that macOS will not enable TRIM on a non-Apple OEM SSD on its own (which is totally fine in the case of the OWC drives). I hear the OWC drives have their own hardware garbage collection built-in to the drive rendering the need for OS-based TRIM support moot.
This Mac is going to spend most of the rest of its functional life as a Windows 10 machine (considering that Catalina is the end of the road for it, I'm likely going to solely have Windows 10 installed on it going forward). Is this true? Should I be concerned in shopping for this kind of replacement drive?Ģ. I have heard complaints that OWC has thermal issues on some of their SSDs. That being said, I have two questions regarding OWC's drives (particularly the Aura Pro 6G that would go in this computer):ġ. I'm leaning against (A) as the drives are likely as old and as used as the one I'm about to pop out and they're a bit more expensive (even being used) than OWC's. (A) A (likely used) OEM Apple SSD either a 512GB or a 768GB drive

I'm considering one of two possible upgrade options: I'm honestly surprised the drive hasn't caused me to go insane yet (especially considering I've owned this computer since 2016 and that's the drive that was in it when I first acquired it). I'm considering upgrading the 128GB SSD on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012).
