Optimize Drives>Never Run

I"m getting this error:
The storage optimizer couldn't complete retrim on 4TB Originals (O because: The operation requested is not supported by the hardware backing the volume. (0x8900002A)

Which I presume is the same bug... 20H2 DIDN'T fix it? And 21H1, whenever that arrives WILL fix it?

Right?

"Optimization not available" for SSD in laptop; true or a fix?

OK, so defrag did successfully trim your drive. "The operation requested..." - will see what I can find - speculation is that defrag tried to defrag but recognized that's not appropriate on demand for an SSD.

P.S. Can't spend alot of time on it at the moment but the first Google hits on this error message seem to be clustered around AHCI driver issues - I see brummyfan has you on that track. Will follow your issue with interest as time permits.
