USB Mass Storage does not provide for TRIM/UNMAP. You need a USB
adapter that specifically implements USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP)
*and* the host needs to recognize the device as a UASP device.

Run the command "lsusb -t" and look at the Driver part. If it doesn't
say "uas" then it's not UASP and you can't TRIM the device.
