Thinking of getting samsung 840 or 840 pro...difference?

I like the bit about the pieces of paper (it ignores the issue of pages vs. blocks, but is a nice easy to grasp metaphor).

That link is wrong, however, when it says "A TRIM command enables your operating system to find the marked pages before you need them and wipe them clean".

The erasing is done in the SSD controller - the only thing TRIM does is give the controller information about which previously written pages are no longer used by the file system. The controller does the erasing (more efficiently, because it does have to move (write) pages that have been freed).

I'm confuse about writing and reading.... like when you're using programs...do it write or read? when you install something is that write or reading? I tried to do research on it...but it didn't explain much.

Apps READ on the load of the App and your workspace. They WRITE data in the use of the app and when saving files. Hope this helps.
