I think my SSD is getting a bit slower with time. I think it just might be the case, if TRIM is not supported by my version of Ubuntu.
I have an Intel 520 SSD in a Thinkpad laptop.
I am using Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit and I'm going to do a fresh install of 14.04 LTS 64-bit. While doing a reinstall, could I somehow 'reset' an SSD to its pristine state, thus restoring its performance?
fstrim
command. I think this is technically an answer to my question, even if you didn't quite spell it out. By the way, I just ran it on my 13.10. I wonder what additional support the 14.04 will add: running it weekly automatically?
