You can check this information on your system profiler (under hardware): About This Mac > System Report > SATA So it’s always a good idea to enable TRIM, if it’s not enabled by default, regardless of your operating system.įirst, you need to check if (for whatever reason) you already have TRIM support enabled on your Hackintosh. It also helps ensure the longevity of your SSD drives. By default TRIM support is not enabled on SSD unless you are buying a prebuilt Apple product.Įnabling TRIM support helps operating systems to delete blocks of data internally (because of the way SSDs work), without decreasing write performance in the long term. One of the them happens to TRIM support for SSD OS drives for Hackintosh. While everything worked right out of the box with OSX, there are some corner cases that needs your manual interference. I am not going to go into details on how to do a Hackintosh computer, there are plenty of very well researched documentations out there that covers all the bases.

Turns out I was very wrong, not only is building a Hackintosh PC with the right hardware requirements is very easy and well documented, Mac OSX installation worked right out of the box with minimal setbacks. I don’t know why but for some reason I always thought Hackintosh builds are a huge project with many different parts that could go horribly wrong and in the worst possible case I will end up with a new system with I don’t really need if I weren’t building it to run OSX on it. I recently did a Hackintosh build after fiddling with the idea for more than 3-4 years.
