Operating System

Windows® 10, 64-bit*

Description

Wanted to verify if it was required or needed to use TRIM with the Intel® Optane™ SSD, or if it would harm the drive if it was used.

Resolution

TRIM, or Optimize, isn't necessary because of the Intel® Optane™ SSD architecture. If you use a SATA NAND SSD with the Intel Optane memory module for system acceleration, Intel® RST driver manages it for best performance.
