Hard Drive failures  
A customer is asking below questions. 
They are facing too many computer failures related hard drives.
1. Does QNX4 support any trim function or equivalent? If there is an equivalent function what is it?
2. Does not having this function shorten the life of SSD? 
3. Is there an equivalent function to be run on a Mag drive which enhances the lifespan of a Mag drive? 
Re: Hard Drive failures  
Hi Niraj,

QNX 4 does not support TRIM or similar technologies. And I didn't hear before about such technologies for Mag drives. If
 it possible customer should use software which work with disk more sparingly (decrease read and write operations, write
 is more significant here). Also customer may use industrial disks which provide more longer life cycle.

Respectfully,
Oleg
