[Windows 11] Disable Defrag on HDD in System while Leaving Default Optimization Settings for SSDs?

Hardware Hub Storage
1

I’ve got an IODD ST400 that is basically an ISO and VHD loader device, with an SSD inside. See: IODD ST400: When to use multiple partitions on SSD?

Due to the way it works, when I plug the drive into a Windows PC to load up ISO images and VHDs, it’s recognized as a mechanical HDD drive. That’s fine, except by default Windows 11 automatically wants to defrag those.

I think I’ve successfully disabled it on just the IODD device, while leaving the TRIM settings for my laptop’s SSD intact. Does this look right?

Defragler can disable built in defragging, and can set drive specific optimizations
