UnRAID Server with one SSD and one HDD. Best practice?

Featured Replies

Hi all,

I am quite new to UnRAID and my usecase looks like this:

 

  • fast Docker Server with multiple services (high performance)
  • storage for multiple TB of data (slow is acceptable, just backup)
  • disk redundancy is not needed, as it is backup only
  • focus is on maximum performance for dockers and data files of dockers

 

My plan is to run all the system and docker files on a small fast SSD (256 GB) and to store all my data on a slow HDD (8 TB).

How shall I configure this, to guarantee, that /mnt/user/system/docker/docker.img and /mnt/user/appdata/ is only stored on the SSD?

 

Or is it better to make "one big volume", where the SSD acts as cache drive?

 

Thank you for your recommendations!

The storage location for the /mnt/user/appdata share can be set using the following setting found by clicking in the appdata share under the Shares tab:

The default location for the docker.img file is /mnt/cache/docker.img .  So it is already fixed to the cache drive.  (You change the location of either of these in the    Settings   >>>  Docker tab when the Docker is stopped.

Thank you, that means, the basic configuration shall be:

 

  • Disk 1: HDD
  • Pool / Cache: SSD

 

Bad idea would be in one Array:

  • Disk 1: SSD
  • Disk 2: HDD

 

Correct?
