Your BIOS enabled RAID, you're using a 2.5" SATA SSD, and you're running Linux Lite 5.8. To disable auto-trim for the SSD, check your system settings or BIOS options related to storage management—look for auto-trim features and turn them off manually.

What is up with the funky red censoring LOL? To get to the topic at hand, you are either misinterpreting what is in the red box, or whatever. I will rephrase it. Hopefully you now understand better the thing you drew a red box around with red arrows pointing at it. I don't understand why you would want to turn TRIM off, when the red box you have provided us suggests you should act in the opposite way.

Trim assists the performance, but you might prefer to disable it. It’s safe to keep it active. Are you using RAID? A single RAID mode is similar to AHCI unless you configure RAID arrays.

You shouldn't turn off trim entirely, but you can disable the timer to halt automatic trimming. Use the commands: sudo systemctl disable fstrim.timer and sudo systemctl stop fstrim.timer.

I'm playing a raid using a single drive.

What raid tier are you running? Was the array configured in the BIOS? If not, it behaves like AHCI. Disabling Trim shouldn’t affect this, I don’t know why you’d want to change it.

You're unsure about the RAID level, but you have your BIOS image handy.

You're suggesting a single drive setup means RAID isn't necessary. Just stick with AHCI and keep TRIM enabled for benefits. For effective RAID, you'll need at least two drives—options include striping, mirroring, or more advanced modes like RAID5 that require three identical drives.

I changed from RAID to AHCI in the BIOS settings. I performed a fresh installation of Linux Lite. Auto TRIM remained active.
