Jaster Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Hello unRAID Team (aka Tom?), with USB 3.0 flash drives are capable of providing write speeds above 200mb/sec at very moderate prices. A cache drive is intended to be used as a temporary storage for a day or less, so the required space on the cache partition can be pretty low (less than 64GB provided by an average memory stick today). Why wasting a SATA/SAS slot, space and energy when we could use such a flash drive for that purpose? Unfortunately unRAID does not support this feature, so I am wondering if you could add it.

hilly Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Was this request ever aknowleged or acted upon? With USB externals now available on the gen8 Microserver but limited space internaly this would seem an ideal solution to mount a cache drive on an external USB 3.0 to make these new servers as useful as the older N54L etc Link to comment
RobJ Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'll be moving this thread to the "Roadmap" board, where feature requests should go. I doubt anyone ever saw it here, as this is for support problems. I'm rather sure that support for USB 3.0 is on the drawing board though, for array drives as well, but I don't know if it has been scheduled yet. Link to comment
rott Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 can usb3.0 drives be used for UnRaid yet? Link to comment
SSD Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I believe that usb3 drives can be mounted outside the array but cannot be assigned as array drives. Link to comment
