Argon One M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.0 Board Trim Support

ONE V2
1

I recently purchased an Argon One M.2 SATA SSD to USB 3.0 Board which is labeled with following version:

04.01.2021v2.2

The onboard chipset is ASM225CM.

Is it supposed to be compatible with the TRIM option?

I couldn’t find anything about this board regarding TRIM option. Only a few info about an older revision of the board with another chipset version.

Regards.

Iván.

Finally, after some research it looks like this revision of the board supports TRIM.

I followed this post from Jeff Geerling to enalbe it on my Ubuntu 20.04 installation and it’s working fine.

Hello,
I have a Argon One M.2 SATA SSD with a Kingston A400 M.2 SATA.

Trim is not working (as I can follow that guide you posted).

My case has the full sized HDMI so it is a V2 (hardware version).

From what I know, I shouldn’t enable trim if the case doesn’t support as it might destroy the data.
How can I know my case version to know if supports TRIM?

@marbi, can you please disclose how you got to know your version and how to know which versions support TRIM or not?

While following this post, I managed to brick my v.2.2 board (same 04012021V2.2). I had been looking all over the internet for a solution as to how to unbrick it. I ultimately got hold of a CH341 kit, got a dump of another working board - which incidently is a V2.3 board - and - uploaded the firmware dump to the V2.2 board. ow the board v2.2 works with RPi, but when I connect it to my Macbook with the Bridge that came with the board and a USB c to USB A (USB3) adapter cable, the board is recognised but the drive is not mounted or mountable. When I connect it to mac with a USB 2.0 cable it is mounted.

Another thing - the board is now recognised as -

AS2235
Version 0.01

Product ID: 0x235c
Manufacturer: ASMedia
Serial 00000000000000000000

on my MAC

It appears that the firmware of v2.3 and v2.2 are not the same. Could anyone share the firmware of v2.2!!

I can confirm now tthat the board appears to work just fine with the firmware from v2.3 board. My usb female dongle was not fitting properly into the usb3 bridge due to lack to enough space.
