Problem
I'm moving over to Linux when the new SSD arrives. SSD gives increased performance, so I thought that I could encrypt everything. But then I came to think about TRIM, and garbage collection on the drive. Will a LUKS encrypted drive affect the garbage collection system? (TRIM).

Fix for: Does LUKS encryption affect TRIM? (SSD and linux)
Low Risk
I emailed them. And TRIM will not work. Because the OS doesn't know where files are stored. Only the encrypted system knows it. Due to the fact that the encryption comes first. I'll use truecrypt instead. On top of the file system for my home folder.
