March 21, 20224 yr Is it advisable to mix storage types in cache pools. For example, can/should you use an M2 NVME and an M2 SATA drive as redundant pairs in the same pool? I have a limited number of SATA ports on my motherboard (Dell T3600) and need to make use of everything I can. So I have a PCIe card with that holds an NVME drive and also powers an M2 SATA. The drives are the same size and I would like to use them together in the same cache pool. I also have an H310 flashed to IT mode that has capacity, but I've heard it's not ideal to put solid state devices on those controllers.
March 21, 20224 yr Author Thank you very much. On a related note, is it true you shouldn't run your cache SSD's off of the main HBA along with your pool storage HHD's?
March 22, 20224 yr Depends on the HBA and devices, some HBA or HBA/SSD combinations don't support TRIM, if it does there's no problem.
