@bob_zim @4censord @nixCraft Oh, I misunderstood. I thought that was referring to a simple block erase like what TRIM uses. That restores performance in the same basic way, but this mechanism takes it further by more thoroughly clearing the blocks I see.

@nazokiyoubinbou @4censord @nixCraft Technically, TRIM erases pages. Pages on a flash chip can contain several blocks. Erasing a single flash page is basically the voltage spike, but to only the one page and for a shorter time. The chip-level erase lasts longer in part to make sure everything gets fully saturated.
Different trigger and different scale of effect, but it’s the same mechanism.
