Ahh. yes... I have already starting digging around for the USB that i setup years ago with unRAID. OK, So if stick in a 4TB data disk for all the data to sit on and use 4 of the 1TB 660p's as the cache does that mean that data will be written to both the data disk and cache and use the cache for the read operations? Does that also mean that the cache gets wiped after reboot?

Hi Guys New to the forum but dabbled in unRAID a long time ago and want to know if this would be a good solution or if I should stick to Windows I want to create a new rig to run unRAID with only SSD's. Plan is the to use 4 x Intel 1TB 660p with an ASUS Hyper M.2 Card in an ITX form factor build. CPU is going to be an Intel i3 Coffee Lake. I will be using the Docker module to run some application but this is going to mostly be my Plex server with the applications sitting on a standard 512GB 660p or equivalent. Back ups are to be done to an external USB hard drive for the main boot disk. I'm not to worried about the data on Plex as this will also be backed up periodically but is all available via the physical media that I have. So questions are below 1. I know its possible but how would I handle the the parity? If i remember correctly then re-writing the parity on an SSD will normally kill a SSD after a short amount of time. Is this still the case? 2. Is this even possible and supported? 3. If i can do this then, what would be the best way to create the array? Its been a long time since i had to mess around with any of the setup and I before anyone says anything I am RTFM at the moment, but this post will either make or break the project completely. The main goal is to 1. Reduce Size 2. Reduce Noise 3. Reduce Power Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
