    Sure you can, Although I believe raid disables TRIM for SSD. Correct me if im wrong.

    You are correct, TRIM is disabled when RAID is enabled.

    given we have multiple threads on SSDs here in the AW forum as well as the hardware forum of NBR, this thread is being closed. OP, please search next time.

    Thanks. :)
