Thanks for giving it straight. I was thinking TRIM was a kind
of screen saver for hard drives, keeping over worked cells
from being burned out. I never though about speed since
all cells in solid state devices are accessed at the same speed
no matter where they are on the drive, but they can be dam
Just as an FYI, USB flash drives (a.k.a. thumb drives, pen drives. etc.) do
something similar but it's called wear-leveling instead of TRIM. In flash
drives, though, it's all automatic (built into the hardware/firmware of the
drive) and you never see it or interact with it directly. The flash

No, the disk already distributes the stress automatically.
But knowing which areas of the disk are currently unused
helps to
Good explanation Thanks
In other word TRIM keeps the cells from being over worked,
so each cell takes part of the load. This is very new to me.
How can I tell if TRIM is present. Is there a file called trim.exe.

One idiot-prof way to install freedos would be by deploying a disk image to
the ssd in some automated fashion. In other words, give no options to the
user.
I have no experience of doing this automatically so I cannot help you
there, manually I use dd on Linux to do this when I need to.

Rayman Bathurst- Hi, -I'm impressed with your cred with CP/M and PDPs. But,
maybe you're so experienced that it's difficult to ask questions as a

Hi!
To install FreeDOS on SSD is basically the same as
on harddisk. If the disk is totally empty, you will
have to use FDISK /MBR or similar to make booting
work - just using SYS will not be enough. Otherwise,
SSD are almost like fast harddisks. Other differences
which exist are not noticed by D
Tom, this is exactly what I said. To *support* round robin, not to do
round robin. Support in the meaning of helping someone/something with a

I'm a little behind the times so can you correct my mistakes here.
SSD stands for "solid state drive" which is flash memory with
a SATA interface. This should be the same as using a CF chip
with a SATA adapter.

If I understand correctly, TRIM is used on SSDs without dram cache to clean
up the drive after a cirtain number of writes so the drive can keep its
speed up. I take this information from this video

1st, a fixed SSD behaves *exactly* like a ((fast) rotating disk.
2nd, I have no idea how much IDIOT you are, but most likely ANYDOS is not
