May 24May 24 I'm thinking of getting a 16GB Optane drive to use as a cache pool. These things are so useless that the AI boom has completely bypassed them, and consequently they can be obtained for dirt cheap.In theory, huge quantities of small files is Optane's best case scenario and also an HDD's worst case scenario, making this a match made in heaven. But can Unraid be configured so that files below a certain threshold (e.g. <1 MB) are written to the cache pool while files above that threshold are written straight to the array?

It doesnt even do caching, it's just writes all data to either a pool or the array first and moved later depending on mover settings.The only real use for the 16GB optane drives are using them as boot pool devices.
