Are the effects of disabled TRIM on an SSD fixable?
Installed Yosemite, thought I had enabled TRIM, but 5 months later, I notice that the system began to slow down and TRIM was actually turned off.
Now I turned it on, but the brakes are still there.
Will they go away after a while, or do I need to do something to get the performance back?

The lack of trim does not affect the health of the SSD in any way.
The SSD itself does not care deeply about the trim, it is important only to the user of the SSD.
If there is a trim, the SSD clears the cells in advance, and the recording goes very quickly; if there is no trim, the cells are released at the time of recording, and the write speed drops many times.
If it is not possible to use trim, then you can leave 10-15% of the SSD unallocated.
In this case, the disk will always have a reserve of cleared cells in the amount of unallocated space.
This is how I use an SSD on XP and Server 2003
Performance after enabling trim should return pretty quickly, well, a day maximum, until the disk in the background cleans up all unused cells.
If this does not happen, the problem may be different, and not related to the trim.
