There's no reason to think trim isn't on by default, as it is crucial to maintain a SSDs speed. I doubt you can change this setting on a ps5.

Trim is a command that the system sends to the SSD regularly. It's not a mode that the SSD needs to be in.

Gotcha. So if I did want to change it, I would have to install it in my laptop first(don't have a desktop)? I've seen some articles recommended turning it off. What's your opinion on that?

Edit: seriously, why am I getting down votes? I'm just trying to make sure I'm utilizing my tech right. Who has a problem with that? Like, seriously?

No, there's nothing to change.

Trim isn't a setting on the SSD. It's a thing the SSD does when the OS sends the trim command to it, if the SSD has support for the function (practically all SSDs do).

If you instruct your laptop not to use trim on an SSD, that particular laptop will stop using trim. It doesn't change the behavior of other systems that may use the same SSD at a later point.

There's no reason to not use trim, unless you really like awful write speeds.
