Ok so just got the ssd for the vm os, going to do a fresh install. Im correct in saying i set the ssd up as a cache drive even though i only want it for the os? I got a 120gb drive for a win 10 install not going to install much on it tbh a few applications about 20gb worth. If its installed as a cache drive will the system try to use it as such ? As i really just want all 120gb just for the os drive Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the advice can i move the vm image to a ssd if i set it up now on the array drives then order an ssd and move it when i get it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi All Just a few general questions i have an unraid setup on my server working nicely so far (still getting to grips) my questions are Does a SSD cache make much difference? If so i read i need two? Are hdd as cache drives going to offer anything over the standard array? Does getting a extra nic make any difference when im only going to have 2/3 users with each only having gigabit connections. Im using 6 x2tb drives at the moment im going to need another 6tb soon so stick with 2tb drives or mix and match a couple of 3/4tb drives? Current spec is Xeon e3-1226 V3 8gb eec ram No graphic yet but thinking of doing a vm with a graphics out at some point so maybe a half decent graphics card at some point Used for media server, file storage for office stuff and photos etc. Backing up laptops and the vm eventually will be used for office work and maybe some very light gaming.

I wonder if its due to windows not being activated then Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all well day two of Unraid and i feel im goi g to be buyinga licence or two (home use) and moving away from existing server to one main does it all. my question is i have a win 10 vm however its i.p is 192.168.122.10 but my home network default gateway is 192.168.1.1 how do i change the vm to use .1.what ever from the .122? I have manually changed it on the cars setting but get no internet connection or anything. The actual server and unraid get a .1.** address but the vm is not. I have tried google and searching here but feel im missing somthing mightly simple and going to look a fool when some one points out the obvious but thanks in advance for pointing it out. I only have one network card in the machine just to add so need to share the one network card.
