What operation should be periodically performed on a solid-state storage device to indicate which sectors are no longer in use?
Performing a surface scan
Executing a trim command
Conducting a sector-by-sector backup
Increasing the partition size
Running a defragmentation program
The operation, known as 'trim,' is crucial for solid-state storage devices. It marks sectors as no longer in use, which allows the device's controller to manage flash memory cells efficiently. This process avoids unnecessary write and erase cycles, thus maintaining optimal performance and extending the lifespan of the storage device. It is important to note that traditional defragmentation is not only unnecessary for these devices but also potentially harmful, as it increases write operations without any performance gain.
