Does formatting SSDs in camera send a TRIM command to them?

PostThu Jun 05, 2025 2:23 pm

Hi,

I was wondering whether SSD(s) are sent a TRIM command when formatted on my Ursa Mini Pro 12K, or if for performance reasons on cheaper drives it might be worthwhile to format them on a computer that will send a TRIM command?

Can't find anything in the manual about whether TRIM is supported by Blackmagic's software on camera.

Thanks! :D

Wondering this myself, though I highly doubt it.

I've also made a ''manual'' overprovisioning on all my SSDs just in case.
AMD Ryzen 5800X3D
AMD Radeon 7900XTX
Ursa Mini 4.6K
Pocket 4K
