SATA SSDs do not support the UNMAP command, which is a requirement for the operating system to recognize them as SSDs. Consequently, the OS may classify the SATA RAID array as an HDD, leading to features like defragmentation being enabled. Disabling defrag is advisable, but be aware that without TRIM support, performance may degrade over time. [community thread]
