Hi guys
I started this thread on Reddit, but if I'm really considering Unraid, it might be better to ask for information over here.
Basically what I'm looking for is a large storage that is always accessible, but only a small amount needs to be directly available.
I read through the topic @mgutt created, and it seems that getting all hardware to power down as much as possible is possible.
But is it possible to configure Unraid such that it uses (redundant) cache all the time, and only periodically syncs this to the drives? It would then only need to spin up the drives if I want to access something that is not available in cache.
What I'm worried about the most is that I have some containers running that constantly add data to databases. If these are using the cache, and the cache keeps the drives spinning, they will just be powered on for 24/7.
Any tips on how or if this could be addressed?
Thanks!
