thank you very much sir, I shall read and re read this prob 15 times lol and do more research. For the record I made a "cache share" on the cache drive in order to test. I appreciate you and will post back later tonight on my findings/testing

Ok, so for starters I have a 1tb NVME drive i wanted to use as a cache drive, which to my understanding and searching these forums, would provide a much better transfer speed for 10g. I copy and delete a lot of files often from one directory. Now unless I am not totally understanding what this cache drive does or my configuration is whack. I have around 14TB worth a data on the array prior to implementing a cache drive. So lets say file #1 is on the array its 50gb, that file would need to be on the cache drive prior to me pulling it through smb windows machine from another nvme in order to get theoretical 10g speeds? oh I failed to mention my array consists of mechanical sata drives. iperf is howing 7-9gb/s throughput
