Hello everybody,

I'm quite new to the world of Hackintosh, but I'm happy with mine for the moment.
I searched a bit, but couldn't find an answer to my specific question.
I got an Hackintosh with 3 HD (2 SSD (macOS, windows), 1 HD (more storage for macOS)).
The TRIM on my macOS drive isn't enabled, so I did run the "sudo trimforce enable" command in Terminal.
I get a warning that TRIM is gonna be activated on all HD, but I only want it on the macOS drive.
Is there a way to do this or should I just leave the TRIM off ?

Thanks for any answer or hint.

I don't think there's a way to enable TRIM on just a single drive; I think it's all or nothing, because what you are enabling/disabling with the trimforce command is TRIM on any and all third-party drives (that support it). But it won't hurt anything to have it on, and besides, you should have it on the Windows side as well. Here's why: http://www.buildcomputers.net/trim-support.html. Here's another, later article (that talks about Windows 10): http://www.windowscentral.com/how-ensure-trim-enabled-windows-10-speed-ssd-performance.

Thanks for the answer :)
It's a dual boot system, because I didn't manage to install Windows with bootcamp.
Windows does enable TRIM automaticly for SSD.
The second HD for more space on macOS isn't a SSD, so no TRIM in theory.
My fear is that using the "sudo trimforce enable", I interfere with the windows SSD.
So I just thought of plugin off the 2 HD reboot enable TRIM and replug the others and reboot. :think:
 
TRIM occurs at the SSD's hardware level; macOS isn't going to interfere with the Windows SSD, nor will Windows interfere with the macOS SSD. Both OS's will send TRIM commands to both SSDs (provided TRIM is enabled in both OS's), which will do the cleanup TRIM was designed for.

TRIM is not applicable to HDDs - as long as macOS correctly recognizes it as an HDD, it will be ignored by the trimforce command.
