Stalls from TRIM after deleting a lot of data

Summary

The rate at which an SSD can process TRIM appears to be vendor specific. I wrote a script to measure the impact of a large amount of TRIM on read IO performance. I tested it on two servers I have at home that are described here as v4 (SER4) and v6 (socket2)

Results from iostat for the Samsung 870 Evo are here. The read IOPs are ~110k /s before and after the TRIM. They drop to ~105k /S for the 1-second interval in which the TRim is done.

I'm not surprised at all. These requests are all batched and will take more time than you expect. Easier to let the OS move on and do this in the background

Good to get confirmation on this! I thought I was insane when I ran into something similar
