    “this is useful for solid-state drives”
    Where is it not recommended?

    Or did I just miss something?

      Running fstrim frequently, or even using mount -o discard, might negatively affect the lifetime of poor-quality SSD devices.

      I guess it was recommending against frequent runs.
