SSD TRIM

If a volume consists entirely of SSDs (Solid State Drives), we recommend enabling SSD TRIM. This feature improves the read and write performance of volumes created on SSDs, increasing efficiency as well as extending the lifetime of your SSDs.

To enable SSD TRIM:

  1. Launch Storage Manager and go to Volume.
  2. Select a volume that consists entirely of SSDs, and then click Action > Configure.
  3. In the window that appears, go to the SSD TRIM tab, and tick the checkbox Enable TRIM.
  4. Click the button Set Schedule to choose the schedule for the system to perform SSD TRIM.
  5. Click OK.

Note:

  • SSD TRIM cannot be enabled when the volume is mounted with SSD cache.
  • System performance will be affected when performing SSD TRIM. The time needed to finish performing TRIM varies depending on volume size and SSD model.
  • When TRIM is enabled on a volume, it will also be enabled on other volumes created on the same storage pool.
