Trim my sata harddrive?

anti.corp · 02-02-2006, 08:32 AM

Hi,

I experienced different methods to trim my harddrive when I installed Gentoo linux.

Is there a way to do this on my Arch as well? Any small programs I should use?

Sincerely, Jørgen

can you define "trim"?

do you mean partition?

Sorry for my bad explanation.

I ment optimize.

I allready know about the hdparm tweaking utility for gentoo, but I don't know if I can use it on my Arch?

There's an hdparm package for Arch, so if you already know what you're doing with that, it's probably your best bet.
