I have one PCI-E x16 slot available. So what you mean is that i add a SATA/RAID controller there and then add the SSD to that?

Hey all, I'm running Unraid on my HP MicroServer Gen10, filled with 4 SATA disks. Working fine, but sometimes i'm getting huge I/O Wait's and that is causing some issues. I would like to add a 1TB SSD to the config, but i don't have space in the MicroServer anymore. If i add a SSD on a USB 3 port, will i be able to use that as a cache drive in Unraid? Regards, Dennis

Wow, thank you so much for all the information and the tips. I'm trying them now. Is there any way to get a more "clear" setup of cache methods in unRaid? I could think of something and make a proposal if that is ok?

Interesting way of using a cache... It's a bit confusing. I've attached the diag zip! tower-diagnostics-20190115-1658.zip

Thanks for your reply and i understand what you are saying. But if i have a share on 'prefer' (moving data to cache) and change that back to 'no' i would think that the mover would remove it from the cache and just serve it from the array again. I can attach a diag zip, but it's already fixed now, do you still want that?

I don't understand. I have one share with cache yes and one share with cache no. Before they were both "cache yes", and i changed one of them back to "no", then the mover should automatically clean up, right?

Sadly that doesn't fix the issue. It just said that the drive was full and then exited. I had to manually remove the files from /mnt/cache to fix the issue as it seems.

Hi all, Last week i enabled the SSD cache drive which worked fine, but it started syncing a lot of huge files to it because i didn't disable caching on that share, i did now. But the files are still there. How can i cleanup that cache drive? Regards, Dennis

Hi, Very interested in unRAID, next to the storage part I want to run a VM on there that runs home-assistant. So I need to use my Zwave USB stick in that VM. Is it possible to forward a USB device to a VM?
