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 , about to start tiling the walls in my shower on jackoboard and tanked joints, I have two shower niches on the same wall to put tile trim around, my tiles are 9mm thickness so I was planning on using 10mm either straight edge or round edge alloy tile trim, could you guys confirm if 10mm...
Just trying to get all answers before starting a DIY tiling job. If your mitering the tiles of an external corner but wanting to trim the top with box edge trim, will there be an edge sticking out at the corner of the trim of 1 or 2mm, due to the tiles being mitred so the grout will be at...
Hello all. I am seeking some advice please.
I am fitting some mirror fronted bathroom cabinets into a now redundant window recess as part of a refurbishment.
I could tile and trim the rebates, but I,d have to get the dimensions absolutely spot on to make the cupboard a tight fit, and I don't...
Hi All,
Just completed my first tiling job but ran in to a bit of an issue around the windows as the walls were massively uneven. It was recommended to me to take off the old Wooden architraves rather than tiling up to the edge of them and tile up to the edge of the windows instead before...
Afternoon all,
Im tiling an external corner where, one wall will be completely tiled and the other wall only half tiled.
Does anyone know how to best approach this trims wise?
The problem being that using the usual method means there's a lip of the trim in the unfilled/tiled area.
Hope this...
We've had a tiled splashback put in as part of a kitchen refit. While the work looks good in general, I think the trim looks a bit odd. It's been used where two planes of tiles meet, and on the vertical lines where there are cuts, but they've left raw tile edges on top.
I think this...
Hello. Not certain I can ask this here but had a browse and it seems many of you dislike trims with bevilled edge metro tiles. Sadly we can't avoid this any more because of a sink/sill issue. Would you share your opinion about what might be out best option for trim please? If it helps we have...

Original install was from 2000. Please can someone tell me what brand used 'MM' on their edge trim? Please see photo.
Thanks in...
Hi,
I am new to the forum so apologies if this has been raised before. We are having a bathroom reno but we are unhappy with the finish round the window and looking for suggestions. The trim as you can see from the photos just sticks out at the end. We have been told there is not a great deal...
Hi all, I'm just getting to the end of doing my kitchen splash back it's my first real job for myself. I've done the walls under the units and now I'm on the the last wall which has no units so I'm wondering should I use trim along the top of the last row of tiles or will a nice neat line of...
Hi All
My tiles are 9mm but I'm planning to use an 8mm square trowel so I think that means the adhesive will be 4mm thick.
I bought some 10mm tile trim. Is that wrong and I should get at least 13mm or 14mm to allow for the adhesive?
Wondering what the options (and fashions) are for edging. Particularly outside corner edges. What do you guys use, what do you prefer?
Trim, butting, bull nose, mitering?
-Trim: curved, square, mitred, inverted?
-Butting, does anyone do this?
-Bull nose seems nice. To use that, do you have to...
Could someone please advise the best way to remove a mastic bead from the top of a chrome coloured tile trim with minimal risk of causing scratches to the trim please?
Thanks in advance.
Hi everyone
So, I’m in the process of re-fitting our kitchen. Everything is going swimmingly and I’m quickly approaching tiling along the worktops.. I don’t mind tiling but absolutely dread cutting tile trim. I’ve seen pre formed corners online for turns to take the the tiles up the wall at...
Mum's bathroom is getting re-tiled. It's in a 150 x 75 marble effect porcelain tile.
For the shelf we want to use trim. She wants it as clean looking as possible and would rather it blends in, so doesn't want silver or some such.
The two options we're trying to decide on is white aluminum...
Hi all,
Having taken the plunge and started tiling my kitchen walls (4 high metro tiles around the length of the surfaces) I now face an issue. I intend to use chrome straight edge tile trim across the top but it looks like I'll need to run one piece on to the next as the length of one wall...
Hi all, new to this forum so thank you in advance for reading my post. I'll try to be short and concise.
On Friday my kitchen plash back was tiled with 10mm thick marble moasics with 12.5mm trim by a tiler who had previously done my kitchen/dining room floor. Unfortunately, I feel the kitchen...
