Our Data Center drives are built to reduce the need for TRIM.</P> Wed, 06 Mar 2013 01:33:39 GMT KenF_Intel 2013-03-06T01:33:39Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/dc-s3700-and-vmware-esx/m-p/21271#M9384 <P>We want to use DC S3700 in our VMware ESX/vSphere 4.1 environment as local datastore. Due to no TRIM support, I would like to know what the effect is on performance and reliabilty. Are the drives able to write the full capacity 5 times a day for 5 years and will the performance not degrade?</P> Wed, 30 Jan 2013 20:06:21 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/dc-s3700-and-vmware-esx/m-p/21271#M9384 idata 2013-01-30T20:06:21Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/dc-s3700-and-vmware-esx/m-p/21272#M9385 <P>Yes, you can expect to write the full capacity 5 times a day for the full 5 year warranty period even without TRIM.
