If you run a hypervisor like proxmox you don’t get automatic trim either. You need to manually setup cron trim. Auto trim also is disabled with filesystems like zfs because of performance problems.

You may have been running without trim and never noticed

I don’t think that poor 20-year-old PC would do very well with a hypervisor 🙂

  I was referring to other PCs you have. You were worried about not running trim would kill the ssd when it’s possible your new PC isn’t running trim either.

    Ah right okay. Well, I’m a developer. All my machines are either development machines or build servers and they all run Linux bare metal. I have no need for hypervisors. My main machine is 13 years old and it has 4 of the same 500G SSD I installed in the old P4, I’ve been beating the hell out of them 8 hours a day for years and they’re still doing fine.
