SSD Trim

[Harfud]

What's the default with SSD Trim in LMDE3 ?

It's possible to set trim as a weekly task but it likely won't defer to run later if the PC is off when it's scheduled.

Does anybody use a better method ?

There is absolutely no harm in running it daily.

I have my SSD Trim set to run weekly using scripts in systemd.

Create the two following files:

name as fstrim.service:
[Unit]
Description=Discard unused blocks

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/sbin/fstrim -av


name as fstrim.timer
[Unit]
Description=Discard unused blocks once a week
Documentation=man:fstrim

[Timer]
OnBootSec=30min
OnCalendar=weekly
AccuracySec=1h
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

After you create these named files, save them and then copy them to /etc/systemd/system

Here is a link with instructions if mine are confusing:

I eventually decided that I'd run this manually from time to time sudo fstrim -a -v
