If the drive is popular, google will get you there, but if not, contact your drive's support desk. How would I find out what the EBS is on a given SSD

if I don't find software for XP to do it.

I'll replace the optical drive with a hot-swap 2.5" drive and have Windows 10 on that system to TRIM the SSDs. I have an old Toshiba laptop with a DVD drive. This system has both the 98 and XP installs on two different SSDs of the same model, and both can be easily removed from a 2x2.5" drive hot-swappable 5.25" bay at the front of the case. That's asking a lot from the hardware to run the newer software (okay, 7 should be fine, but 10 is really stretching it). With a Pentium 4 672 and soon to be 4GB of RAM. Yeah, but remember, this is on my Pentium 4 machine. (which now rules out using Linux as a once-a-month TRIM b Krcroft wrote: Yeah, I would have gone with NTFS as well given no other constraints. (That said, only perfectionist tend to sweat these details as the performance hit and extra wear are not a problem for casual users). Otherwise, if your filesystem's blocks stradle two EBS chunks, you will reduce your write rate for those portions by half and also double the wear. So it's ideal to have your OS filesystems' block size and block alignment (and RAID boundaries) also align and neatly fall within the SSD's alignment and EBS chunk sizes. If any byte within a given EBS chunk changes, then the controller will read in the entire chunk, change the requested bytes, and then write-back the entire chunk to NAND. Regarding block size, modern SSDs have the notion of fixed erase block size, or EBS, which can be though of as a single chunk of data that might be 2MB or even 16MB (perhaps even bigger now, depending on the make/model of SSD). Maybe Microsoft offer a leaner stripped down 'infrastructure' version (for cloud or VM installs) that wouldn't eat up half your SSD? Next best might be dual-booting Windows 7 or 10.īut given the 20 to 60GB of recommended storage these behemoths will consume, that's a bit like using a Honda Civic to tow a Ford 350 truck because it has nicer drink holders 😀 (which now rules out using Linux as a once-a-month TRIM buddy). Yeah, I would have gone with NTFS as well given no other constraints.
