What Is TRIM on SSD

TRIM on SSD (Solid-State Drive) is an ATA (Advanced Technology Attachment) command that enables the computer operating system to tell the SSD to erase data blocks when they are no longer in use. The TRIM command allows the SSD's controller to manage the storage space available more efficiently and greatly improve the speed of writing data to your SSD. Thus, the use of TRIM can improve the performance of your SSD and extend its lifespan.

When Do You Need to Enable or Disable TRIM on SSD

By default, TRIM is enabled on SSDs. But it happens that you accidentally disabled it via some third-party tool. To keep the peak performance of your SSD, you will need to check whether TRIM is enabled and then enable it again if it's not.

Although the use of TRIM ensures the high performance of your SSD, it eliminates the possibility of data recovery on your device because it completely erases the data blocks when you perform 'delete' operations. That's the reason why so many users want to disable TRIM to make their data recoverable.

Whether you want to check if TRIM is enabled, enable TRIM or disable TRIM, you will find the way to do it from the details below.
