and the empty cells to write to avoid unnecessary erasing and rewriting. Trim is a useful tool that can benefit the speed and longevity of your drive. But if your operating system doesn't support trim, it's not a disaster. All of the crucial SSDs are designed and tested assuming that they would be used without trim. Thank you. That in a very technical way describes a little bit about trim from Scott's experience and the research that he's done. So thanks for that, Scott. Looks like you can't do the trim command on an SSD over USB and it needs a SATA connection to do that. I knew that some SSDs, particularly the more recent SSDs, probably have a life span, even with the level of writes and rewrites that are current in computers. They have a life span that typically is much greater than they were when SSDs were first brought out and it's not so much of a problem as it has been in the past. And his research from the Crucial website kind of indicates why that might be. That, at least in (43/53)
