Why do you think that the SSD should necessarily write much more? I
don't follow that conclusion.
If I can figure out how to design a SSD which does not necessarily
write much more, I suspect that an actual SSD designer can do the
same.
Blocks/sectors marked as being TRIM'd do not need to be maintained by
the garbage collection engine. Depending on the design of the SSD,
this can significantly reduce the write amplification of the SSD.
