SSD drive with F2FS and TRIM help

i installed my first SSD earlier and used F2FS filesystem for my partitions for better response, but i'm wondering if i have to run TRIM and what would be the best way to do so if it is needed? also, tips on making better use of my SSD would be appreciated!

Re: SSD drive with F2FS and TRIM help

I'm not familiar with F2FS, but with my ext4 filesystem I use the "discard" option in /etc/fstab to activate TRIM automatically.

If you have a modern production SSD, do not follow any of the advice relating to minimising writes: it is now effectively obsolete.

EDIT: I have now removed "discard" from my fstab options due to performance concerns -- I now use the systemd fstrim.timer instead:
