I upgraded to the beta DrivePool per your recommendation Drashna and now I cannot get the SSD Optimizer settings to stick, so my SSD is now just being used as any other disk. I've uninstalled, and reinstalled (the optimizer plugin), with reboots between.
I can make a change and click Save successfully exactly one time per running the DrivePool UI. Subsequent attempts without restarting the app result in missing object reference errors.
