Do you, or anyone else with one, know what the upper limit is on
TRIM operations with the Intel SSDs ?
I need to know the maximum amount of TRIM ranges they will process
in a single command.
Eg. Indilinx-based SSDs don't appear to have a limit -- they'll accept
a TRIM command with thousands of LBA ranges included.
Sandforce-based SSDs appear to restrict things to max 4KB of range data.
So.. what about Intel?
Well, I still don't know about Intel drives -- anyone?
But for the latest hardware, some manufacturers are now reporting
their TRIM limits in word[105] of the identify data,
as described (optional) in the latest draft ATA ACS-2 specs.
It appears that Sandforce drives officially only allow 512-bytes of range data.
So I'll limit hdparm's TRIM functions to match word[105] when it is specified.
The Indilinx drives I have here don't report anything in word[105], though.
Cheers
