ALL SSD Storage Pool

[JKChapman]

I currently have a Synology NAS that is used for all my mass storage.  I was looking at standing up an UNRAID server mainly to use the apps, dockers, etc features.  Is there any disadvantage of using creating a pool with all SSDs?  I have several that were purchased for another project that never panned out.  Thanks

They cannot be trimmed if used in the array, but you create one or more btrfs/zfs pools.

So does the btrfs pool do the trim or am I just out of luck?

Btrfs pools do trim - it is just btrfs format drives in the main array that do not trim.

O am I correct in thinking that if I create a Btrfs pool on my array I would be OK?  I just have several SSDs not in use and was wanting to put them to use

Not completely sure what you mean.   You cannot create a btrfs pool on the main array as all drives in the array are a single self contained drive whatever format you use.   If you mean a btrfs pool in addition to the main array then yes that is OK.
