[Where is the SSD Optimizer plugin?]

OK I am trying to enable this plug-in but not seeing it in the Balancers tab. Do I have to download the plug in and put it somewhere? 

I was going to point you to the download  however it seems that it’s now installed natively recently. Perhaps you need to update drivepool? 
Sorry I can’t help more. 

[Reinstall WTF!!]

Well this has recently happened for the last time.

I will never understand why anyone would consider having 5 unwanted balancers and balancing itself all enabled by default anything other than a really stupid idea.

Even less how physically disconnecting 16 hard drives OR stopping balancing on five pools whilst "being quick about it" is a viable work around. With one pool there's a very slim chance of catching it on time. With five there is zero chance. 

So it would seem that for the last 7 or 8 years I have been "backing the wrong horse."

Drive Bender "Cascade Mode" is everything I have ever looked for in DrivePool. added to that  Drive Bender strangely/sensibly also has a default start-up strategy of doing absolutely nothing until explicitly set.  A real shame it's never caught on here. 

Anyway over the years I have had my moneys worth, but it's time to call it a day.
