mbc0 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Hi, I have seen this question answered with conflicting results, I would like to install an NVME drive to store my photo's on for Immich for response times (waiting for drive to spin up) I don't want a drive spinning 24/7 I have 20 or so HDD's currently 4XNVME's as 2 cache pools and would like to add an NVME drive into the array for protection, has anyone here done this for a good amount of time to give any advice? Many thanks Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It's fine as long as don't mind the lack of TRIM support, and the write speed being limited by parity, reads will still be fast, and no spin up delay. Quote Link to comment

MowMdown Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 An alternate suggestion is to separate the thumbnails from the photos and keep the thumbnails on the cache pool so you can browse your photos without your drives spinning up until you click on a photo. obviously there’s going to be a delay to view the full resolution photo while the drive spins up.
