Parent article: Issues around discard

The problem is that the firmware is non-free software. I've had SSDs that just fail with TRIM for example, and you are given a windows-only update tool with a binary blob firmware. I just threw it out and decided to never buy from the company again.

These firmware run ARM M and they should be free software.

There is a project in this direction: http://www.openssd.io/

For firmware, I think Linux Vendor Firmware Service (https://fwupd.org/) can be used to update SSDs firmware under Linux.
