October 22, 20214 yr Was considering the following: Using motherboard's internal USB 3.0 port and hooking up an SSD with a USB to Sata cable. I wanted to use Unassigned Disks to mount the SSD outside of the array just for docker AppData directories. Outside of maybe not getting the full disk stats, any concerns or known problems doing this?
October 22, 20214 yr Community Expert Depends on the USB bridge used, some can be flacky, I've been using one like that (assigned to a pool) for my temp downloads for a few months without issues, SMART on the GUI might also not work correct, but at least in my case it's an Unraid issue, since smartctl works fine.
