Hoping for some help as I've been fighting this problem for literally days now. First of all, the specs:
Windows 10 x64 1809
DrivePool 2.2.2.934
4x 1TB Spinning Disks
1x 3TB Spinning Disk
1x 1TB Samsung 860 Evo
Currently Runnning the StableBit Scanner First, SSD Optimizer Second, Disk Space Equalizer Third and Prevent Drive Overfill Fourth. I have Immediate Balancing enabled, not more often than every Hour, or if more than 10GB needs to be moved, with plug-ins allowed to force immediate balancing(in case a drive throws a smart error, some of the 1TB drives are OLD). I've unchecked "File placement rules respect real-time file placement limits set by the balancing plug-ins" and have "Balancing Plug-ins respect file placement rules" and unchecked "Unless the drive is being emptied."
I have set file placement rules to put regularly used, and game files on the SSD only, and have selected "Never allow files to be placed on any other disks." But the balancers put the files onto the SSD, then take them back off when I force a re-balance. I'm moving around 200GB of files, so it's not fast. I'm not sure how to convince the SSD optimizer to stop dumping these files off to spinning disks at this point.
Some of the files are program files, as I have a 256GB NVMe SSD for my boot drive that I only put the absolute most critical programs and files on to keep it from filling up, or exceeding writes. I can create a dynamic link from the drivepool location to the native partition on the SSD and bypass drivepool entirely for these files, but I like having control for everything in one console.
