I wonder if this is connected to NVMe?

Our SATA Intel DC S3500 drives (which are not that different to the =
750s) TRIM much more quickly.

What does camcontrol think the secure erase time should be? For a 600GB =
S3500 camcontrol accurately gives the secure erase time as 4 minutes:

# camcontrol security ada0

erase time                4 min
enhanced erase time       4 min

Trimming drives before addition to a system is definitely worthwhile.
