April 5, 20179 yr Hi all, I was under the impression that unRAID 6 is taking care of TRIM for SSDs using BTRFS by now. Am I wrong and manual trimming/ using the Dynamix TRIM plugin for scheduling is still necessary? I am running unRAID 6.3.3. Thanks & regards, Marcel

April 5, 20179 yr Author @johnnie: thanks for the quick answer. Shouldn't that really be done by the system?!
April 5, 20179 yr Community Expert Having the plugin installed and scheduled will accomplish the same, but if you're asking should that functionality be included in a default install, I agree it should.
April 6, 20179 yr If you're meaning should it just happen without any settings or user intervention, then that would mean using the BTRFS mount option to trim when files are deleted. But, apparently that can cause performance degradation on certain SSD's and it makes undeleting files impossible. It seems the recommended way is using trim when the drive in inactive. That would means the plug-in is installed or the code included by default and you just set it. Basically, skip the step of installing it.
