Looking for Feedback on Chameleon SSD Optimizer:
Looking for feedback on Chameleon SSD Optimizer (Utility to enable TRIM on non-Apple ID SSDs and more) that reportedly works with OS X 10.8.3. (Older pages here years ago had terminal commands to enable Trim (March 2011), disable hibernate mode, delete sleepimage file, disable SMS, etc. manually (July 2009) and (later) linked to an earlier Trim Enabler (only) utility, but Chameleon also includes other features we used to do via terminal.)
I realize many may not want to use 3rd-party mods like this/feel it's not needed, etc. but if you have used Chameleon SSD Optimizer (especially with a Sandforce SSD - Intel 520 or OWC), let me know your experience. ( mail to news at xlr8yourmac.com. Please include OS X version, the SSD model and any Pros/Cons you've seen in use. Thanks.)
(Thanks to Bill, CN, David, Mark and Neil for their feedback. I've now added reports to a separate page.)
