But helps keep an eye on total writes. Something to watch early, to make tweaks if something is particularly disk intensive.</P> Tue, 19 Jan 2010 18:49:52 GMT idata 2010-01-19T18:49:52Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/reading-total-data-written/m-p/3707#M3569 <P>I recently bought a Intel X25m G2 160 GB harddrive, and have 2 questions regarding to it.</P><P></P><P>1. I use linux primarily, though have Windows 7 installed, the first question is that in windows Intel SSD Toolbox gives information on how much total data has been written. Is there a way to achieve the same information in linux? I have tried using smartmontools, and gnome-disk-utility (palimpsest), neither have given that specific information to me.</P><P>2. If anyone knows what version of linux kernel will natively support the trim command?</P> Mon, 18 Jan 2010 08:41:02 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/reading-total-data-written/m-p/3707#M3569 idata 2010-01-18T08:41:02Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/archive/reading-total-data-written/m-p/3708#M3570 <P>Well using iostat tells how much data is written since the operating system is turned on.
