Integrated TRIM & S.M.A.R.T. Monitoring with Terabyte Written (TBW) Tracking: TRIM streamlines performance and expands the lifespan of NVMe storage by enabling each SSD to handle garbage collection more efficiently, which helps eliminate write speed degradation. S.M.A.R.T. monitoring allows you to check the temperature, voltage and TBW of each NVMe SSD.
