Caching was enabled on the share. I think my network connection is to slow, and I was testing with big files only. Not many small files. Should probably use a testing tool next time 🙂 I've changed the SSD to cache now. Unraid just need 4 hours to Parity-Sync 🙂

I just started with Unraid and love it so far. Moved from FreeNAS because it was unstable. So far Unraid is rock stable. I have a question about were to use my SSD. I see that it's recommended to have it as a cache drive. My server has to 2TB WD RED NAS drives and one 120GB SSD. I've tested both with and without my SSD as cache and the write speed are approximately the same (1gigabit ethernet). I'm planning to run some VMS on the SSD. I just wonder if there's any point in having the SSD as cache, or should I use it as a disk in my array and create a VM share? Does it hurt the SSD to have it in the array vs as a cache device?
