Intel, among other NVMe SSD manufacturers, recommends using fstrim periodically rather than enabling continuous trimming with the discard option. They don't specifically state why, but I will hazard a guess that performance is impacted during a trim, and doing so for a short period once a day or once a week is more useful than decreasing performance all the time. -dsr-
