Why would I need this?

Running fstrim on a volume pretty much exhausts an SSDs write capacity. This allows you to keep using the drive at only a slightly reduced performance but the fstrim process will run for much longer as a consequence. There is a great article over at Ars Technica detailing why you may see significant improvements in performance predictibility even on expensive enterprise SSDs.
