During the installation procedure, any newly created storage with LUKS encryption (newly formatted encrypted partitions, logical volumes, and so on) is configured to use the `discard` option which enables https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trim_(computing)[TRIM]. This potentially increases the lifetime of SSD drives while **not** affecting encrypted data security and it has no effect on HDDs.
