Hello everyone,
I decided that Windows 7 will be my last Windows OS and to install Debian Jessie on my Thinkpad.
To ensure a clean installation I will install Debian on a new SSD.
From many sources I read that SSD-support in Linux is not the best. Especially one said that there are problems with the NCQ-TRIM command.
Apparently data corruption will occur on some SSD devices, which was the reason to put many SSD onto a blacklist written in the kernel (for reference: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/e64f638483a21105c7ce330d543fa1f1c35b5bc7/drivers/ata/libata-core.c starting at line 4109).
I figured out that NCQ-TRIM is an advanced version of the "normal" TRIM command.
My question now is, if normal TRIM works in Debian with the blacklisted devices?
I want to buy a Crucial MX300 which is not named in the blacklist but I read that it also wont support NCQ-TRIM.
Will it work if I create a cron for weekly or daily "normal" TRIM?
Or could it be that there is no real difference between NCQ-TRIM and TRIM and both wont work with a blacklisted SSD?
I hope that you could help me with this problem because real information about it is very rare.
