Everything You Need to Know About SSD TRIM

Before you proceed with enabling or disabling TRIM on your SSD, we'd like to provide you with some background information:

1. What is SSD TRIM? 2. Should TRIM be enabled on an SSD? 3. How often should TRIM be performed on an SSD?

TRIM is an advanced technology, an ATA command, that notifies an SSD when a data block is no longer in use and can be erased. This allows the SSD's controller to manage its storage space more effectively and significantly speeds up reading and writing of data to the SSD.

In short, TRIM can greatly improve the performance and longevity of an SSD. So should you enable TRIM on your SSD? Yes.

How often should TRIM be run on an SSD? To maintain high read and write speeds on an SSD, it is recommended to have TRIM enabled at all times.

To do so, follow the guide below to check if TRIM is enabled on your SSD. If it's disabled, read on to learn how to enable it on Windows 10/8/7.

#1. Check if TRIM is Enabled on Your SSD

Usually, the TRIM function is enabled by default on an SSD. However, it might have been disabled due to an accident or by a third-party tool. Therefore, you should regularly check if TRIM is enabled on your computer.

You can check and manage the TRIM function on your SSD through the Command Prompt. If you're unsure whether TRIM is being used, you can first check if it's enabled.

To check if TRIM is enabled:

Step 1: Press Windows + X and click on “Search.” Type cmd in the search box.

Step 2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

Step 3: Type the command fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify, and then press Enter.

- If the output shows DisableDeleteNotify = 1, it means that TRIM is currently disabled on your device. - If the query result shows DisableDeleteNotify = 0, it indicates that your SSD supports TRIM.

If you see that TRIM is disabled on your SSD, proceed to the next guide where we show you how to properly enable TRIM on Windows 10/8/7.

#2. How to Enable TRIM on SSD in Windows 11/10/8/7 (2 Methods)

To maintain high SSD performance, it is recommended that you always have TRIM enabled on your SSD. There are two ways to go about this:

1. Check if TRIM is Enabled on Your SSD - Easier for beginners
2. Enable TRIM on Your SSD via Command Prompt

Method 1: Enable the TRIM function on your SSD and recover SSD data with utility software

If you're looking for a visual way to enable TRIM on your SSD, try the free data recovery software – tools Data Recovery Wizard. Although this tool is mainly used for data recovery, you can also use it to enable or disable the TRIM function on your SSD. The program can recover data and disable/enable TRIM at the same time. When the program scans the disk with TRIM enabled, it will automatically turn off TRIM. Once the program is closed, the TRIM switch will return to its state before the program was run.

Step 1: Scan the SSD

Open Disk Drill, select your SSD, and click the “Scan” button.

Select and scan the SSD

Step 2: Check the results

Once the scan is over, check the “Deleted Files” and “Other Lost Files” folders and use the “Filter” and “Search” options to retrieve lost SSD data.

Step 3: Restore Files from SSD

Select the files you need and click on the “Recover” button to get back your lost SSD files.

Method 2: Enabling TRIM for your SSD through Command Prompt

If you'd rather enable TRIM for your SSD using a built-in Windows method, follow these steps:

Step 1: Right-click the Start button, select Search, and type cmd in the search box.

Step 2: Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

Step 3: Type fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 0, and then press Enter.

Enabling Trim on SSD

Your computer now has SSD TRIM enabled.

#3. Bonus Tip: Enabling SSD TRIM for Data Recovery on Windows 10

As mentioned, TRIM does ensure your SSD functions efficiently. However, it eliminates the possibility of data recovery from the device since it completely wipes the data blocks when you perform a “delete” operation.

This is also the reason many users want to disable TRIM to make data recoverable. But, is it possible to recover lost data even with TRIM enabled on your SSD? It depends!

When you accidentally delete or format files on an SSD with TRIM enabled, the sooner you act, the higher the chance of SSD data recovery. Here's the complete process of SSD TRIM data recovery:

1. Disable the TRIM function on your SSD immediately

No matter how you lost data on SSD, once you find files missing from the SSD drive, disable TRIM on the SSD immediately.

1. Right-click the Windows icon and select "Search." Type cmd in the search box.

Step 2. Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

Step 3: Type fsutil behavior set DisableDeleteNotify 1, and then press Enter.

Disabling TRIM on SSD

Recover Data from SSD as Much as Possible from Windows 10/8/7

After disabling the SSD TRIM, you can use a reliable data recovery software like the Data Recovery Wizard tool to scan and locate your lost files as much as possible.

Step 3: Back up important files from the SSD

Lastly but equally important, after you have recovered lost SSD data, make sure to back up all your valuable files from the SSD to an external hard drive.

You can manually copy and save your files to an external storage device, or use a reliable file backup software like Todo Backup, which allows you to select and back up all your files at once.

It's Your Turn: Enable TRIM to Protect Files on Your SSD

Enabling TRIM ensures great performance from your SSD. However, once you lose data on a TRIM-enabled SSD, that data is gone for good. So how can you keep your SSD data safe with TRIM turned on?

Here is what we propose:

1. First, back up all the data on the SSD to an external hard drive in its entirety. 2. Second, if you don't have a backup, disable TRIM immediately after data loss on the SSD. 3. Then, use reliable data recovery software - tools Data Recovery Wizard to scan and retrieve as much data as possible. 4. Lastly, re-enable SSD TRIM in Windows 10/8/7 after this process.
