About TRIM

[wong93]

1) Does it gives significant speed boost ??

2) Is it compulsory to have TRIM in SSD??

3) Will my SSD not slow down even when it's almost full?? since old/useless block are replaced by new data instantly instead of removing them first then writing data on those blocks

1) Does it gives significant speed boost ??

It's not the purpose of TRIM to give a speed boost. The purpose of TRIM is to maintain the drive's Read/Write performance.

2) Is it compulsory to have TRIM in SSD??

Modern SSDs don't rely only on TRIM to maintain drive performance; they also use Garbage Collection to maintain performance. So no, TRIM is not compulsory.

3) Will my SSD not slow down even when it's almost full?? since old/useless block are replaced by new data instantly instead of removing them first then writing data on those blocks

Yes, most SSDs will slow down when they are more than 90 percent full.

,how bout ssd in raid 0?? will they be able to activate trim?? cause i plan to have them in raid 0 for speed boost and also wont slow down even when almost full, also does 2 of them in raid 0 gives a ton of boost?

if you want the fastest possible speed then buy a revodrive 3

You need a 7 series Intel chipset based motherboard in order to have TRIM activated in RAID-0.

You will get close to double your advertised Read/Write speeds in benchmarks tests, but real-world use you might not notice the difference between a single SSD and 2 SSDs in RAID-0.

Yes, Z77, or Z75, or H77, or Q77.
