Review on πŸ’Ύ 32GB mSATA Internal Mini SATA SSD - INDMEM Micro-SATA MLC NAND Flash 32GB by Brian Cheney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The drive works fine but doesn't support TRIM

Well that's pretty weird. Some time ago I bought two RECADATA mSATA 64 GB drives here. These drives share the exact same circuit board and chipset as the INDMEM drive I'm talking about here. Older RECADATA drives offer 64 GB of storage space with a single 29F64 flash chip (64 GB), while the INDMEM drive uses two 29F32 chips (32 GB each = 64 GB). Although the two brands are identical except for the memory chip layout (1 x 64GB vs 2 x 32GB), the INDMEM drive does not support TRIM while the RECADATA drive does (using the Linux fstrim command). I would give this INDMEM drive all 5 stars (it works well and fast) but it doesn't support TRIM as it claims. and chipset as RECADATA drive. Also, I have a 256GB INDMEM drive that I bought here a while ago that supports TRIM (and also uses the same board - using four 64GB flash chips to create 256GB). If this INDMEM drive fails, it doesn't work at all, but it works great except it doesn't support TRIM. call me confused I give this INDMEM SSD 64GB mSATA Internal Mini SATA SSD Micro-SATA MLC NAND Flash 64GB a thumbs up instead of both. This is fine if you don't need TRIM support.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Low maintainability
