What is TRIM?
SSDs read and store information in named groups pages When we combine these 128 pages, we have part of the data. This is something that should be clear to us from the beginning. We can assume that each block of data is a book. But what if we want to do it without one page of our book? Yes, if this book is stored in SSD, the unit will copy all pages of the book, except the one we want to delete Adultery or one Tempral cache After that you will delete the original book. It will also place all the pages you have copied into another book.
You will be with us because it is a great way inactivity. Especially when we compare it to what is usually done with a hard drive. Where the only thing that happens is that the data is removed directly from the plate where it was filmed.
The store What you are doing is marking those SSD blocks that are ready to be removed. That is, instead of having SSDs all the time doing literacy activities, note the blocks removed later. Or, what is the same, all removal tasks are done at the same time. It greatly enhances SSD performance. These delete operations are performed when the device does not use SSD.
How to use Windows?
Fortunately users do not have the TRIM command available run permanently on Windows. From the moment we install a solid storage unit, that command will work. Of course, the fact that it works doesn't mean we should ignore it.
No, TRIM is something, like antagonist in hard driving, we have to exceed a certain frequency.
To do this, in Windows, in the search engine we will type «Prepare». Also, on the display screen we will select «Defragment and expand units».
That will open us up the application Windows
As you can see, the app sees exactly what it is storage units
However, there is a unit we forgot to transfer. Windows warns us of the epigraph of «It needs to be done right». All we have to do is select the unit in question and press the button «Prepare».
We have done this, we will have our own units optimized for Windows.
The usually The instructions for performing this command vary. If it is a unit that records and removes data throughout the day, you will need to export it at a specific frequency. But, besides, doing it once a month is more than enough.
