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

Yes

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:

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.

great, makes sense now - thanks
