Abstract
A method for adaptively managing a solid state drive (SSD), an associated apparatus, and an associated computer program product are provided, where the method includes the steps of: monitoring whether any deletion event regarding a file system established on the SSD exists, to selectively update a deletion amount accumulation value, where the deletion amount accumulation value represents a total deleted data amount of at least one deletion event of the file system; and after the deletion amount accumulation value reaches a predetermined deletion amount accumulation threshold value, sending at least one TRIM command to the SSD, to allow the SSD to recycle reusable storage space by utilizing a garbage collection mechanism of the SSD.
