How to properly TRIM an ssd (18.04)












1















I want to do what follows:




  1. set (via systemctl) a trim timer which would trim more than once a week but less than daily. Say every three days.


  2. I want to be sure that if the system is turned off or sleeping what the scheduled trim should be executed, it will be executed at the next awakening/boot.



How can I do that?
