AFAIK trim isn't supposed to do anything useful to a hard drive
regardless of speed or capacity, but I know nothing about SMR, except
that an article I just read says its really only suitable for large scale

(main? only?) storage volume for a Linux or Windows system and definitely
not for a journalled fling system.
