Thanks for the reminder.

In a thread about a month ago, we determined that the Kindle eMMC does support the "trim" command (at least according to the documentation).

I don't recall any post reporting if the Kindle kernel driver is using the command.

Anyone want to take bets on if tinyrot is using the command?

Nor have I seen any reports of Win7 having been ported to the Kindle.
