May 15, 201412 yr I'm in the process of gathering all my parts for upgrade to unRAID 6 and was curious of the file transfer speeds from a Windows 8 VM to the cache drive of the unRAID host. I remember that using ESXi you could set up a virtual 10 gigabit network connection between the to is this the same with unRAID as the host? If I use a SSD for the cache drive would the VM be able to write to it at the same speeds as if it was writing to it directly and not as a network drive. I am setting up a TV tuner server with 6 tuners with the possibility of recording 6 shows at once. I don't want a bottle neck to be writing from the VM to unRAID.
May 15, 201412 yr If you find it is a problem you could pass through a drive to the VM and just write recordings directly to the drive. Then if you want to keep them just transfer them to unRAID array when you are not recording. That was how I had my WHS2011 VM setup originally. I've since passed through a M1015 controller to the VM and use 8 2TB Red drives with the WHS2011 in a StableBit Drive Pool.
