I still don't run or use trim to this day, and not really felt pain for it with samsung. My current full-time desktop isn't raid1 with only a toshiba m.2 1tb flash disk in it, and after 5 or so years can't complain it's still kicking... Even with just luks/lvm (no mdraid) and no trim, it hasn't killed it, so hoping they adopted like tech to Samsung to stave off the suck.</div><div><br></div><div>I got a few samsung 980pro m.2's for my desktop to rebuild, and as soon as I care enough to figure out zfs encryption and booting on that thing I'll probably switch back to it. The two prior 860pro's are still solid in that thing though using it more as a server than a desktop for heavy virtualization.<br></div><div><br></div><div>-mb</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Oct 15, 2021 at 9:26 PM Stephen Partington via PLUG-discuss <<a href="mailto:plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org">plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"trebuchet ms",sans-serif">If you are using SSD's in raid i would suggest underprovisioning.

I didn't do trim, as it defeats luks encryption, and often simply doesn't work otherwise with various filesystem layers (mdraid, luks, zfs, etc), and well yeah, they all died horrible deaths.
