My Kingston NV2 500GB nvme drive and Geekworm X1001 arrived today.
I now have the disk up and running, it seems fairly fast: Copying a 2.7GB IMG from nvme to nvme (same disk) takes about 2 seconds. Doing the same on a Kingston A400 SSD with Startech ASMedia adapter takes 10 seconds. Nice improvement!
I was looking into enabling trim on the disk, and immediately discovered that this nvme drive doesn't look anything like a scsi disk, so couldn't use known/documented path for enabling trim.![:(]( "Sad")
On a whim I just tried running trim against it, and amazingly it worked with no system or udev configuration changes.
Is this true of all nvme drives or did I just hit the trim-enable jackpot today?
Disclaimer: I have found any good documentation about NVME disk capabilities. google-fu failure.
Thx
EDIT: Hmmm..my file copy performance isn't reproducible. But the trim mystery is![:roll:]( "Rolling Eyes")
