SSD - Please explain me about TRIM

[soapbravo]

Is SSD TRIM important for web servers?

 

[jojesa]

No much, if you use enterprise grade drives, which have higher endurance (write-limits) and more spare space for built-in garbage-collection.

Is SSD TRIM important for web servers?

No more or less than any other SSD use.

It has nothing to do with the software or how you use the drive. Rather, it is for the physical drive health.

What OS and what drive is this?

TRIM is like exercise. Is it mandatory? no. Do you have to enable it right away otherwise your SSD may die tomorrow? probably not. But ur SSD will live longer, plus modern OS will come with it enabled so u don't have to do anything.

TRIM Is how your system defragments the SSD and keeps it functioning well. That is the simplest explanation.

By default windows seven and 10 knows how to deal with SSDs and runs Trim on a scheduled basis. And if it doesn’t you can schedule it

Also the drive must be over provisioned properly.
