[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 666047, member: 59833"] That's not true! That assumes TRIM runs in real-time and [U]immediately[/U] purges old storage locations whenever you delete a file, or whenever garbage collection happens. That is NOT the case. If TRIM immediately zeroed out data, that would cause excessive wear and tear on the drive. Here's another good read: [URL='https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2011/03/ask-ars-how-can-i-safely-erase-the-data-from-my-ssd-drive/']Ask Ars: How can I securely erase the data from my SSD drive?[/URL] Please explain. You don't defrag SSDs. In fact, Windows will not allow it. That is why the Windows defragger is now called Optimize Drives. When the OS encounters a SSD, it knows not to run the defrag feature on it. As suggested in my first post yesterday. [/QUOTE]
