trim
A trim command (known as TRIM in the ATA command set, and UNMAP in the SCSI command set) allows an operating system to inform a solid-state drive (SSD) which blocks of data are no longer considered to be 'in use' and therefore can be erased internally.Trim was introduced soon after SSDs were introduced. Because low-level operation of SSDs differs significantly from hard drives, the typical way in which operating systems handle operations like deletes and formats resulted in unanticipated progressive performance degradation of write operations on SSDs. Trimming enables the SSD to more efficiently handle garbage collection, which would otherwise slow future write operations to the involved blocks.Although tools to "reset" some drives to a fresh state were already available before the introduction of trimming, they also delete all data on the drive, which makes them impractical to use for ongoing optimization. By 2014, many SSDs had internal background garbage collection mechanisms that worked independently of trimming. Although this successfully maintained their performance even under operating systems that did not support trim, it had the associated drawbacks of increased write amplification and wear of the flash cells.TRIM is also widely used on shingled magnetic recording (SMR) hard drives.
Hi all,
Have a question about how/when best to install tile trim - probably quite basic!
One of my walls has a 5 inch recess, and the wall will be tiled up to a height of 1.3m. The recess means I have an external corner to deal with and I want to install the tile trim across the top of the...
Hi, I am looking for advice about half tiling an external corner which meets a full tiled shower wall(over bath); unfortunately, I have cement board on the shower wall so cannot return (set back 30/50mm) as it will expose cement board. Any other suggestions would be appreciated? Cheers DTCB
Hi there,
My customer has chosen stainless steel trim (unable to pursued them otherwise) Just wondering if there’s a method for mitring I haven’t thought of. A suitable blade for my mitre saw is about 50 quid so not an option for a small job. Have done this with a grinder before but accuracy...
Morning all,
I like the finish of the window reveal of the attached. My question is, how do you finish the top of the tile trim? Is it a case of a dab of silicone or something to finish off the exposed edge?
Many thanks
Hi all
Do any UK stocks do a similar tile trim to this Schluter design? Deco-SG
https://www.schluter.co.uk/deco-sg.aspx
I've phoned around a few of their stockist in the UK and they all say it has to be ordered specially from Germany which they can't do for a small order. I only need 2 x...
I want to install this marble pencil trim ON TOP of the existing shower floor tile.
Can I use an adhesive like liquid nails to do this or will it not form a waterproof bond correctly?
Just looking for a fast and easy way.
Thanks!
ahouls there be a lip on the tile trim or it be flush - a 12mm trim has been used here leaving a lip when perhaps a 10mm should have been used instead?
Hi all. I hope you are keeping well. Need a bit of advice on which tool is best to cut the mitres on metal trim. Can you get a good blade for an angle grinder or is there not enough control with this? I don't have a small chop saw, only a big sliding mitre saw which a blade would be very...
Hi
In the process of getting bathroom done and came home to this…see photos.
I am used the the tile trim facing the room, like a frame, but tiler has done it this way facing in towards the recess.
It doesn’t look right to me and looking online can’t see anything else like this!
Is this even...
Is this acceptable tile trim job. How should it be done. Can it be ripped out easily and redone. Any advice welcome. Also is this grouting an acceptable standard. What's your tiling question? Pictures can be added.
Hi all.
It's been a while since I have completed any tiling and will be doing some basin splashbacks with 9mm thick 600 x 300 porcelain tiles.
I will be running a trim around the whole of the outside of the tile Schluter Jolly- A 110 TSBG – Natural Beige Grey.
I want the trim to be flush...
White tiles, metro pattern. The tiles have bevelled edges, that is, there is a 1 mm difference in thickness between a whole and cut tiles (edges). Trims are white too, very thin, straight edge. Grout is dark.
Problem: if you grout as normal, there will be an ugly uneven dark line alongside the...
Hi all, first post here so be gentle!
I tiled behind a sink unit a couple of years ago and used Homelux Kitchen Corner Cove 6mm at the joint between the sink unit and the tiles. The job has turned out well as I did not want to use silicone sealant at the join.
I am now wanting to tile above...
Hi folks.
New to this as a profession and trying to guage quoting. How much should I be charging to remove 9m2 old tiling and replacing with new. To include full installation grouting trim sealing etc.
Only ever done for friends so want to quote correctly.
Ok I am fitting the tile trim L shaped aluminium profile around the window, Dave you are right, no grout gap against the tile looks better. I did put a bit of coloured silicone between just to seal the gap and it looks good, But do I have a grout gap in the reveal up against the tile trim ? I...
Hi there, I hope someone can help me. I’ve just tiled my kitchen, and need to trim the tiles with some chrome upvc angle bar (I tiled over the original tiles so couldn’t use ordinary tile trim). The two way mitres at the corners have worked out fine, but I’m not happy with the three way mitres...
I am in the process of creating my tiling job in 3d in sketchup. Please can members help me copy the trim on this window still.
What type of trim was used around the edges of the window still on this job?
I notice only one alternating tile is cut along the edge to butt up against the outside...
Hi all,
I've brought an Evolution R210CMS mitre saw for cutting tile trims. It comes with a T20 tct multipurpose blade.
The issue I'm having is when I cut steel trim, it keeps kicking back and bending the trim.
My question is, do I need to buy the T68 blade for cutting finer metals? Or is it...
