April 21, 20251 yr Hi, my photo library has grown over 1TB and manipulating it or using things like immich for machine learning is becoming more and more tedious having it on rotating disks. I am thinking about one of three solution: 1) Buy one 2TB+ SSD and add it to my unraid pool (which only has rotating disks but two parities) and making sure that the Share is using that disk only and the others are not using the disk. 2) Buy one, make an additional ZFS pool and use it as cache with mover action cache -> array and mover tuner setting "synchronize primary to secondary" making sure that the mover will eventually copy all changed files to the pool after a few hours. 3) Boy two and create a new ZFS mirror pool for it... I know (3) would probably be best but a bit overkill. (1) would also be optimal for data protection but writes would be slower (which probably is not so big a deal). What would you guys do/recommend? The library is once a night backuped to a secondary system via kopia as well. Regards JP
