rorton Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Have an SSD on the way to replace my spinning cache drive. Ive read conflicting posts about trim and trim support, so just wanted to check if using BTFRS and 6.4.1, do i need the trim plug in or anything else, or will trim be taken care of using this combo? Thanks Link to comment

rorton Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 Thanks. If it still needs the plug in, I’m confused why the spec now says it’s native.... Optimized for SSDs¹ – unRAID now has native support for TRIM, which can substantially reduce the number of write operations when used as a cache device. Benefits of SSDs vs. HDDs: Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Trim support is native but it won't run by itself, you can run it manually or use a cron job to do it, it's just easier with the plugin. Link to comment
