I just bought 2 of the Monster advanced overdrive 128gb usb 3.0 drives at Sams Club down from $ 99 to 29.81. I thinks its a fair price for Monster junk. Hoping it was a standard msata inside, I popped one apart, alas it is a proprietary usb 3.0 circuit with flash mem on board so I didn't get 2 cheap 128 msata drives. My question is trim doesn't work on usb 3.0 so how do I keep the flash optimized?. I used to use Tony Trim on older Kingston nontrim ssds. Is there a newer better way?
 
Just make a partition 10% to 20% smaller than the whole disk and leave the rest unallocated.
 
Never thought of over provisioning and I didn't think to check the chip when I had the drive apart.hopeully the controller has good Garbage collection
