| To automate running TRIM, use cron or add the `discard` option to `/etc/fstab`. | ||
| Note: using `discard` is not recommended. The `discard` method might cause the | ||
| system to slow down because it forces the system to apply TRIM instantly on | ||
| every individual file deletion. |

I think this downside should be mentioned in the fstab section. Maybe use "add the appropriate mount option to /etc/fstab" above so people don't just use the option and move on without reading everything.
