@jakkuh_t

In the context of the video we were making I would have thought it was pretty clear that I meant that it doesn't support it in the array.

 

I can see i should have been more clear.

Move this to the right place if needed, but I think its more likely for @LinusTech to see this if its in General.

 

Linus said he was setting up a server with TrueNAS because Unraid didnt have TRIM support for SSDs on WAN show.


Unraid does have SSD TRIM support as of version 6.11.
Before that you could get it with a plugin, but now its included in Unraid.

Settings for it is under scheduler in settings.

Could you provide a link/screenshot? I looked but couldn't find it in the 6.11 release notes 😛

The Unraid Array does not support trim, which is likely what Linus is referring too.

 

Sorry to the Unraid diehards out there  but the main benefit of Unraid is using whatever drives i have lying around and throwing it into an Unraid array. Yes even i still use Unraid, because there are many dockers, plugins and guides, but the main thing that pulls us all in at the beginning is the flexibility and cost effectiveness of the Array. Reducing that hard to jump over barrier of entry of getting a worthwhile NAS up and running.

Don't even bother mentioning pools, or cache it's not the same thing.

If i had drives of all the same size, ZFS or even old Raid 5 is an option on any Operating System.

 

I've been an Unraid user for many many years but i really hope the Unraid team get a wiggle on for supporting trim on an all SSD array, before i start archiving old media to the cloud and throw my collection of SSD's into multiple ZFS pools on TrueNas

Thanks for making this thread have more correct information.

Just to through I curveball, I have an array of only SSD's "one in parity, one in the array"

Just for a test I enabled this setting, and in fact did run TRIM on the array and cleared out 11 GiB.
I know I know I have been told not to run SSD's in unraid like this is it will ruin the parity's but is fine so far, I have just been living on the darkside & have a remote backup of everything.
