I take it TRIM is just a luxury for better performance.
The TRIM is within conjuncture to the CG ("Garbage Can" - what a God
Awful anacronym) OPERAND, as I perhaps understand for a two-stage
deletion process beginning with CG, physical sector/file placed items
marked for deletion, which the TRIM operand in turn irrevocably
erases.
Then again, as I may understand, some do -- SDD controllers among not
other SDD controllers -- which then account for a TRIM algorithm based
upon a time factor or associative of how long files marked for
deletion may retain electronic residency.
With XP and no TRIM help whatsoever on, say, XYZ brand manufacture,
the general worst-case is that the drive is purged, everything
temporarily moved for the SSD to renovated and reformatted,
effectively then for a full TRIM sequence, before moving back the
data. Once or twice a year was the recommended usage.
The accompanying Samsung disc, I got, I believe does say it hold a
TRIM function for XP among its utilities. I haven't, or may not ever
see it, though, as I don't have the appropriate service pack, nor may
I ever choose to install the service packs in that particular
scenario.
I'm curious, though, as how a TRIM residency affect concurs if at all
with valid physical occupancy, a normal operational state for
potential stipends exacted, over specified ratios of space regarded as
empty, whether if in fact such space has or ever has been occupied.
