April 17, 20233 yr I'm using a Dell T710 for Unraid 6.11.5. This has 8 internal slots for drives and I'm currently using two of those for the Cache drives. What are my options to move the Cache drives? I'd like to use all 8 slots for the array to expand my overall storage. I am using a Dell H310 HBA card in IT Mode - with both channels used for the drive cages. I also have an unused eSata card installed. Use the eSata card for an external enclosure to house the SSD drives (create a new pool, or use Unassigned Drives)? Current Config: Dell T710 II - Two x5690 Xeon CPU’s (12 cores, 3.47 Ghz) 96GB DDR3 Mulit-bit ECC Ram Dual 1100 watt PS Nvidia Quadro P2000 video card for transcoding (love the T710 for this easy install as opposed to the R710) Dell H310 HBA card – IT Mode (6) Hitachi HUS726060AL5210 6TB SAS Drives (30TB Array) (2) Micron 5100 MTFD - Enterprise 980GB SSD Drives (Cache) Dell / Intel XYT17 / X520-DA2 10GB FH Network Adapter (2 ports) running as bonded, active-backup Thoughts and advice much appreciated.
