Now I wonder, why would anyone want to use TRIM feature on a portable SSD, especially on an encrypted one? Isn't this feature only increases drive wear, offering next to nothing as a benefit in return? I don't use TRIM feature on my systems because of that, and hope for a firmware of modern SSD will manage everything automatically. Am I wrong?
