Hi Forum!
a few weeks ago I've discovered Unraid and used with my 2014 Mac mini.
The Mac has two internal SSDs:
- 128 GB (Apple proprietary) PCIe SSD: used as Cache Device
- 2 TB SATA SSD: used as Array Device
Now I've ordered new system based on standard hardware. It comes with a 512 GB NVMe SSD and room for some more drives.
I've currently three shares: appdata, system and my data network share and all set to use Array as primary storage.
As I cannot move the cache drive to the new hardware, my plan is to connect only the Unraid USB stick and the 2 TB SSD to the new machine and add the new 512GB NVMe SSD to the Cache Pool.
Is this a plan that will work (as the cache drive should not contain any) data or is there something more to consider?
Thanks a lot!
