When enabled in Windows, TRIM is supported whenever applicable, Deb. If you use a USB drive, though, TRIM is *likely* not applicable since USB doesn’t support it. But generally, USB is relatively slow so it won’t matter much. Thunderbolt supports TRIM.

USB4 and Thunderbolt 3 are the same things so if you use a USB4 drive, it’ll support TRIM. More about USB vs TB in this post.

I actually received two returns to the command, one for “NTFS” and one “ReFS”, both disabled.

That depends on a particular SSD’s controller. But you need backups, you can NEVER count on data recovery. If you delete something, it’s supposed to be GONE.

Thanks for the response! Looks like i have no luck retrieving my deleted files 🙁 no point in sending my mac for recovery service.

Curious. Any idea how often an Apple SSD ‘trims’ itself? is it periodically or instantly when a data is deleted

Generally no. It can be tough to recover deleted data on an SSD due to how information is written. More here. This, of course, depends on how long the information has been removed, etc. Many SSDs tend to optimize on their own, including removing data from cells marked as “free”.

Just a question.

Is it possible to recover deleted files after emptying trash on mac with trim ssd enabled/support?

All SSDs support TRIM, Cong.

You should check, Sanjaya. Generally, on a MAC, you have to do that for each drive.
