yes my drives supports TRIM: Samsung 840 & 850 PRO.
Because with Mavericks there was the TRIM avtived.

I suffered a massive loss of performance over time without Trim. I have a Samsung SM951 and you can see some figures here:

Yes. You can enable TRIM in 10.11.4 You can do it through Terminal by just copying and pasting sudo trimforce enable But note that enabling trim can cause freezes.

if i will find my system freezes, how can i disable TRIM?
always via Terminal?

That should work as well via terminal:

[FONT=Monaco]$ trimforce[/FONT]
[FONT=Monaco]Usage:    trimforce enable[/FONT]
[FONT=Monaco]    trimforce disable[/FONT]
[FONT=Monaco]    trimforce help[/FONT]

App like "trim enabler" can do also the work?

Thanks for reply
