I'm preparing my hardware to install Unraid. I will be using this for a home media server, to store files from my PC that will be accessible by any PC on the network and to back up my computers to. My question is in light of my intended uses will having a cache give me any real benefit? The PC I intend to use has a 128 Gb SSD. I was considering adding two more SSD's for a cache but I am thinking I'll not really see any benefit from it. Thanks

Hi, I have an old refurb PC I want to set up as system back up of several PC's, data storage and media server for my home network. The specs I have is listed below. Will this be adequate for my use? Also, I've tried a couple of free OS. The support from the forums there is lacking to put it nicely. I'm new to servers and will surely have questions. Will I get friendly support here?
