Just checking whether the TRIM command is relevant to mechanical drives in a ZFS pool, or if it only applies to SSDs.
I see the AutoTrim option in the GUI, but I don’t know if it applies to my hardware.
Only applies to SMR drives, which you shouldn’t be using anyways.
For my SSD pool, I don’t use “Auto TRIM”. I keep it disabled.
Instead, I have a weekly Cron Job that issues zpool trim ssdpool.
