Re: (OT) Questions About SSDs for a Laptop

Ed, There are a lot of optimization articles out there. The more current ones say to ignore the older ones and just use trim. All the older optimization suggestions seem to have been incorporated into the drives in some way, according to the authors. I can't find the article that made these pronou
