"trim/discard" success story

My experience at Alacritech was that Trim was so expensive timewise that 
it could not be used in that application space. Instead, SECURITY ERASE 
on the relatively infrequent reboots cleaned things up pretty well.

This should be with a grain of salt because I expect trim timings are 
not only vendor dependent but firmware release dependent.
