Hey everyone,
So, I noticed my SSD was getting a little filled up (only 70GB free in 256GB)
and decided to read about how much it would affect the performance of my
machine.
From what I understand YES, SSD shouldn't be left nearly full otherwise it
affects performance, due to the way SSD works. With that in mind I run:
sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
And got this:
/dev/sda:
Timing cached reads: 3644 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1824.91 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 798 MB in 3.01 seconds = 265.42 MB/sec
After that I run:
sudo fstrim -v /
And got this:
/: 83,2 GiB (89301729280 bytes) trimmed
However running the previous command again:
sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda
gave me the same result as before. So, does it even matter if we use TRIM or
not?
Also, I read that Ubuntu 14.04 has TRIM on by default. Shouldn't Trisquel 8
have it be default too? And if so, why did it allow me to TRIM 83,2GB when I
run it manually?
I have a vague memory of Libreboot systems having some issues with TRIM and
SSD... But I can't find it anywhere online. Maybe I am mistaken. If someone
knows about that I will be thankful too.
Thanks!!
