Everything about Trim (computing)

Type of command for solid-state drive

A trim command allows an operating system to inform a storage medium which blocks of data are no longer considered to be "in use" and therefore can be erased internally. TRIM is primarily used on solid-state drives (SSDs), but is also used on some shingled magnetic recording (SMR) hard drives. Wikipedia →
