How to Enable or Disable TRIM Support for SSD (Solid State Drives)

By Timothy Tibbetts

on 06/15/2023

In this tutorial, we show you how to tell if TRIM is enabled or disable don your computer for both NTFS and ReFs drives.

TRIM (also called Trim or Trim Command) allows your SSD drive to handle garbage more evidentially. TRIM allows the operating system to decide which blocks are already in use so they can be wiped internally. Anytime you delete something, TRIM automatically deletes that page or block. The next time the page or block is written to, the operating system does not have to wait for that block to be deleted. SSD TRIM can prolong the life and performance of your SSD drive.

TRIM should be enabled on your SDD drive, regardless of the file system.

To find out if TRIM is currently enabled, or disabled, open PowerShell and type in fsutil behavior query disabledeletenotify and compare with the six possibilities below.

NTFS:
  • NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Disabled) TRIM support enabled for SSDs with NTFS
  • NTFS DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Enabled) TRIM support disabled for SSDs with NTFS
  • NTFS DisableDeleteNotify is not currently set - TRIM will automatically be enabled if a SSD with NTFS is connected.

    ReFS (Resilient File System):
  • ReFS DisableDeleteNotify = 0 (Disabled) TRIM support enabled for SSDs with ReFS
  • ReFS DisableDeleteNotify = 1 (Enabled) TRIM support disabled for SSDs with ReFS
  • ReFS DisableDeleteNotify is not currently set = TRIM will automatically be enabled if a SSD with ReFS is connected.



    How to Enable or Disable TRIM for NTFS

    Enable - fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify NTFS 0
    Disable - fsutil behavior set disabledeletenotify NTFS 1

    How to Enable or Disable TRIM for ReFs
