I've had a few people ask me about what TRIM is, so I thought I'd do up a quick video about it.

@sloppiexx Windows 7 should enable TRIM automatically. If you want to check a program like SSDlife will tell you if TRIM is supported and enabled.

Does that mean that it will be practically impossible to recover your files with software like Recuva if you are using a SSD with trim?

How to move user profile in Windows 7 to another directory / driveby akolozvary28,661 views
Actually, I don't wanna be a pedantic cunt, but the 2.6.33 release of the Linux kernel introduced support for TRIM, and that was on February 24th 2010, prior to the recording of this video. Thus, Windows 7 was not the only OS to support it. But seriously, nobody gives a damn so I'll stfu.
