May 23, 20224 yr Hello everyone. I'm looking for some advice. I have just started looking into unraid. I have a supermicro with (8) 1.9TB ssds and (12) 1.7 TB hdds. My initial thought was to use ssds as a cache pool, however the thought of losing half the space of the ssds is not that appealing. What is everyone's recommendations to use these drives to best potential? I'll be primarily using the space for video (plex).

May 24, 20224 yr You have 2 x 8 = 16tb ssd and almost 2 x 12 = 24tb mechanical. And... 20 x power/case/cooling without any other care? Plex can work great with that, but you should try to do more. MrGrey
