TRIM

TRIM is a command used in modern solid-state drives (SSDs) that helps maintain their performance and longevity. When you delete or remove files, TRIM informs the SSD which data blocks are no longer needed, allowing the drive to efficiently manage and clean up these empty spaces in advance. This proactive process reduces slowdowns and prevents the SSD from becoming cluttered, ensuring it continues to operate quickly and reliably over time. In essence, TRIM helps the SSD stay optimized by managing data more effectively behind the scenes.
