It's not necessarily universally GOOD, it's only good for SSDs. Without the pre-restore trim, these sectors would erroneously remain allocated within the SSD (not within Windows).Ĥ.

However, it cannot trim sectors that were in use by the previous, now overwritten, filesystem. In normal usage, it is the filesystem driver (Windows 7 and beyond) that manages release of unused SSD blocks via TRIM. The sectors covered by the partition(s) to be restored are trimmed using the relevant ATA command before the restore process starts. they can just be overwritten when Windows decides to use them once again. This is very different than HDDs which don't care about the status of those storage blocks. Eventually it will need to free those blocks up as it slowly runs out of storage. If it is not issued to an SSD when Windows decides a storage block is no longer needed (ie, DELETED), the SSD will continue to carry that blocks DATA around almost ad infinitum until told to do otherwise, even if Windows no longer needs it. It is the only means available to let an SSD know that an internal storage block is no longer necessary. The TRIM function is unique to the use of SSDs only. If issued (meaning the option is turned on), nothing happens at all in relation to HDDs (hard drives).ģ. SSD TRIMming has nothing to do with 'intelligent copy' and is only useful during restorations of a SSD (Solid State Disk).Ģ. if trim is universally good why do we have the option to turn it off.ġ. After reading some of the descriptions of how all these work I still don't quite understand, would it be okay if there was a simple graphic or image showing going on on the inside of the hard drives.Ĥ. is ssd trim worth using on a platter hard driveģ. What does ssd trim do and how does it differ from, rapid delta and intelligent copy.Ģ. I've read through the forms and even the help files and I still struggle some of these setting and what they do exactly.ġ. Some of the features do confuse me though. Hi there I've been using Macrium for a few years and it's never let me down.
