yanksno1 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hi, I recently added another SSD to my system and was wondering what the best SSD setup for Plex metadata action for me to take was. Right now I have a 1TB SSD setup as my cache drive (that's mainly used for Downloads). I recently bought another 500GB SSD and set that up under Unassigned Devices. Under Unassigned Devices I formatted and mounted the drive. If I look under the Dashboard panel that drive shows up as "unassigned" , that's correct right? It makes sense that it is, but just wanted to be 100% sure. I was planning on moving my Plex metadata to the new SSD I just put in (plus any VM's if I ever set those up). Do I have the right plan going here? Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Moving forward with 6.9, you can have multiple cache pools. Using UD for drives intended to stay attached for stuff like appdata is not the preferred method any more. Quote Link to comment
yanksno1 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 I'm still on 6.8.3, haven't leaped to one of the 6.9rc's yet. Okay, think I confused myself here haha. I do have all my docker's appdata setup on the cache drive, so nothing more to do there right? I'm still way under at 23.5% capacity on it, so this drive will probably be going back.

yanksno1 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 Looks like I'll keep the SSD after all, but won't need it for what I was thinking right I'm guessing. Any suggestion uses for it with the server? When 6.9 does get a stable release, maybe I'll just use the drive as part of the cache pool. Quote Link to comment
