How does this work with SSDs supporting TRIM? If it's enabled, that large block of space would be erased by the SSD. If you put a large file in its place, that's also suspicious (huge block of random data). If you disable TRIM, also suspicious.

Nitrokey Storage uses SD card, which AFAIK does not support TRIM. Before first usage it is overwritten with a random data. Drive is presented to the OS like any regular (non-SSD) flash drive device, hence I do not think OS would issue TRIM on it.
