My Macintosh HD volume is grayed out and can't be mounted. Regarding the Yosemite SSD problem, everyone on the internet points to this:īut this assumes the drive can be mounted. It's unclear to me if this is some kind of OS X problem, or if this is because of the 3rd party SSD issue that so many are plagued with, since Apple decided to lock down kext signing. I put it inside the MBP, and I go automatically to Recovery. I installed and time machine'd it as an external drive, and it booted just fine (using the Option Key). I have just installed a Crucial M500 SSD into a Macbook Pro. #4 if you have already upgraded to Yosemite and are now getting a grey screen, go to this article and scroll down to the section called “Recovering from stop sign on boot screen.” It has some steps to help.I am having trouble because I can't tell exactly what my problem is, in order to find the solution.

#3 If you don’t yet have Yosemite, grab a non-TRIM SSD and copy your data across to it before you upgrade to Yosemite. #2 If you have a TRIM drive already, and use the TRIM hack, the writers of the TRIM enablers are trying to get around this. #1 PREVENTION is the best cure: use a drive that doesn’t need TRIM. This was a disaster! (Thankfully, in my SSD article I recommended to use drives that did not need a TRIM enabler.) The Fix Anyone who did this now found their SSD would not boot in Yosemite. Many people chose option 2, to use an SSD with TRIM and run the hack, but in Yosemite all TRIM enablers/hacks were disabled by Apple. (2) Use an SSD that needs TRIM but run a hack that turns on trim support in OS X. Here are some SSD’s that work better without TRIM:

(1) Install an SSD that doesn’t need TRIM. Apple and TRIMĪpple have not allowed TRIM support unless you have an Apple installed SSD Drive. That means if you want to install your own SSD into a mac, you have 2 options. If you have an OWC SSD, though, you don’t need TRIM. The SandForce controller in our SSDs takes care of this “garbage collection”… In fact, enabling TRIM could actually hurt the performance and reliability of your OWC SSD, rather than help it.

It’s a bit like having your own personal secretary to do your filing. For those SSD’s it’s actually better to keep TRIM turned off and leaving it all to the secretary, so to speak.įor example this is what OWC say about TRIM: So the computer says ‘delete this page’ and the SSD does it automatically. Others have chosen to deal with deleting data in a different way. Some SDD’s are enabled to work with TRIM. In order for TRIM to work the SSD must have ‘TRIM’ support, and the computer must have ‘TRIM’ support. TRIM is a command that allows an SSD drive to remove (delete) 1 page at a time instead of a whole folder at a time. In fact it’s slow to deal with writing large chunks of data. With an SSD drive they are different and so it’s much faster to do it 1 page at a time. This is because spinning hard disks deal with huge chunks of data called blocks, which are like a folder, and they can’t deal with anything smaller than a block of data. They spin so fast and the blocks are so big that doing an entire folder at a time is the fastest way to do it. If you think of data as papers in a filing cabinet, to remove an empty page (if you were an old hard drive) you would need to take out an entire folder of papers, then find and remove one page, and then put back the entire folder. Trim is a command your computer gives to your SSD hard disk to tell it to delete a very small amount of data.

Thankfully if you followed the method in my article entitled “ How to speed up your mac with a Solid State SSD Drive” you will not have this problem. Some SSD drives are crashing in Yosemite do to an issue with something called ‘TRIM’.
