sonisame Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Just looking for a opinion, I have my three windows VM, Ubuntu and few dockers on 1 TB NVME drive on my unraid machine. I dont have a cache drive yet, but there are lots of deals out there for NVME drives. Question is will I benefit from having a cache drive(another TB NVME)? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 If appdata, domains, system shares are on the array, Docker/VM performance will be impacted by slower parity array, and array disks can't spin down since these files are always open. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Sounds like you are running things on an unassigned device. Unassigned Devices are not part of user shares. Simpler to make that a pool (cache) and let Unraid manage it, but if you don't need any User Share features for appdata, vdisks (domains), docker.img/libvirt.img (system) I guess it doesn't matter.
