Disk config

Recommended Posts

I am wondering what the best configuration is my the drivers in my Unraid box.

I have the following drives installed.

 

1 x 128 GB SSD

4 x 2 TB HDD

I think I want one of the 2 TB HDD's as a parity drive as part of a 4 drive array with the other 3 x 2TB HDD's.

What could i do with the SSD that is in the server?

Yes that is right.

That one belongs in a pool (such as cache), but since it isn't very large you shouldn't cache writes of normal user shares to it. Instead use it for dockers/VMs so their performance won't be impacted by slower parity array, and so they won't keep array disks spunup since dockers/VMs always have open files.
