January 2, 20251 yr My current cache drive is a single Crucial MX500 SSD 1TB (CT1000MX500SSD1) over the holidays I got a WD Black SN770 2TB. Would combining the 2 in a cache pool be of any benefit or would it be better to just replace the old SSD with the new NVME drive? I also use another Crucial MX500 SSD 1TB (CT1000MX500SSD1) as unassigned disk for my VM, it has the vdisk image on and my files for my Win11 VM... Can I mix and match a cache pool or am I better off leaving that alone for now until I get another NVME? I am on 7.0.0-rc.2 - Would appriciate a link to an update date guide or steps HNY Edited January 2, 20251 yr by bally12345

In that case I will move everything to the newer NVME and keep the VM on the SSD as it is... Dont need raid1 mirror at this stage, appdata is backed up to array. Whats the fastest way to copy the data from old to new cache? Copy to array first?
