In my case, I have a SSD AND a HDD. So what if you want to ONLY turn off the defragmetation for a SSD?

Brain fart, it doesnt show the size of the array, just the drive’s label. I just so happened to name the drive “240GB” as its label and got a little confused there when typing and looking back and forth. lol

Microsoft might have fixed that now. I have a RAID 0 array with two Samsung 840 EVO drives booting to Win8.1 Pro with full updates. I just checked the “Optimize Drives” dialog for my computer. And It clearly lists my RAID 0 array as Solid State (I have other drives listed as hard disk), clearly showing the 240GB I have (its a 2x 120GB array). As well, the button “Analyze” is disabled. And when I highlighted the drive and clicked “Optimize”, it came back saying “Optimization not available” and now the Optimize button is disabled. Which, I guess, makes me wonder if its useing TRIM. However, when I goto command prompt and run the “fsutil behavior query DisableDeleteNotify” command (which checks if TRIM commands are being sent) it says that it is enabled, so I guess we are good!

Many new Acer Aspire S7 ultrabooks (both the 391 and 392 Haswell versions) have mmc-based SSDs which utilize an internal RAID mechanism; Windows 8 sees these SSDs as “Hard Drives”, not SSDs.
