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 Guys, thank you very much for the responses to my question on the pocket door. I went with 18mm marine ply and 6mm Jackoboard. I am now prepping for tiling. Because of the build up of the wall, I am thinking about putting 2 pieces of 12mm trim up the edge of the wall. 1 piece to mask the...
Hello all,
I have a job this week doing a kitchen splash back and window reveal. The wall behind hob has a boxed in section which means extra cutting. I had originally planned and customer agreed that they wanted mitred externals. They have now changed their mind and want to use white round...
Im interested in people’s views of how this edging trim has been installed.
All other edges meet together in the bathroom but these two done look right to me?
Thanks in advance.
Decided to tile my kitchen myself. 1st time tiling and I forgot to install PVC edge trim across top tiles. Any suggestions what could I do? Top tiles are mosaic if that matters
Anybody know where I can get a box trim 15mm wide in chrome or aluminum? Have scoured the internet but can only find 10mm.
I've tiled our hallway and then ran the tiles straight through into the study off the hall. I set the tiles out for a grout line to run down the centre of the hall but this...
Hallo all, first post to this nice forum, hope I will get some advice.
Could you check the photo and give some ideas how to make this "invincible" ? Silicone is not an option as this will be too noticeable I guess, also tought to find the most similar coloured grout to tile and fill the gap...
Hi
Can you please let me know if a product like Schlüter DILEX-EKE or equivalent internal profile trim is generally visually cleaner than using silicone? I assume 3 way internal corners could look messy if not cut correctly but was wondering if I should go for some sort or trim like this for...
Hi peeps

Hi all,
First time here, and I am after a little bit of advice and some second opinions. We have recently been renovating our very tired '70s bathroom and found a local independent firm that were very well reviewed, and provided lots of examples of their work, to do the job.
For the walls we...

Because of on going issues I need to find an alternative to hacksaw mitre box junior hacksaw etc and just want some reassuring comments that the proxxon kg80 mini chop saw is worth the couple of hundred outlay for cutting tile trim? Do you have one and is it worth the money? Also any other...
Unfortunately I allowed some adhesive to squeeze underneath the protective plastic of a brushed metal trim.
This looks to have etched the metal.
Would this polish out with T-Cut or similar?
Hi all.
Just seen a previously tiled bathroom where the tiler rather than have the widest face of the trim facing outwards around the window reveal as normally fitted actually has fitted it so this side is within the reveal and just the 2-3mm edge is visible as you look at the window.(which...
Getting to the point of a couple of vertical external corners from floor level to 1.5 metres and am using L section trim. When using standard L section one side of the corner will have about 2mm of the trim lip showing while the other side will have 8mm. Is this not the way to do this, see pic...
Our kitchen fitter has done a lovely job overall but we are disappointed with the finish around the windows which we feel lets the other good work down.
I have attached pics and we have contacted him to say that we aren’t happy with the finish around the windows with the wedge of grout along...

installing my first alcove. Any tip/advice?
The wall tiles are a subtle marble effect. Is there a matching trim or even pencil style tile on the market to finish the alcove?
Thanks in advance
