Hi,
I'm a new SoftRAID enthusiast/user, and have a 2017 iMac with Apple's Fusion internal drive.
What maintenance do you recommend on the Fusion drive? It appears that you only recommend Verifying drives when their volumes are unmounted, however, I can't do that because it's my only startup disk.
You then recommend Validating instead, but "Validate" is greyed-out when I select my internal Fusion drive.
What do you recommend? '
As an aside, I HAVE certified all four of my external drives.

SoftRAID will watch both disks for signs of failure, but cannot manage the fusion configuration. Since SoftRAID does not control either disk, or the volume, we cannot validate the volume.
You an verify disk on the HDD or the SSD, but this is a very basic test and unlikely to turn up any issues.
So not much you can do.
Good question, though.
