Although can anyone confirm if the Amorphous Diskmark report is normal for an SSD?Įven though I absolutely swore I turned on TRIM ever since years ago when I initially bought the SSD via separate app.interestingly only yesterday I noticed that under System Report it shows TRIM support says 'NO'. Even on 1TB SSD.ĭrivedx reports as 100% health on the SSD. Is it Security updates? Since the very late of 2019 to this day of having installed series of security updates I am experiencing slower and slower overall Macbook Pro mid 2012.
