July 10, 201510 yr Does Unraid allow the cache drives to run in raid 0? I'd like to know before I go ahead and buy two SSDs. I do not think this can be done using standard unRAID features. The cache pool is designed to use a RAID-1 like capability in BTRFS to provide a resilient cache. Not sure if you can fool unRAID if you are prepared to descend to the command line and manually manage the cache pool. If you want RAID-0 then (assuming you have a spare slot) an easy way to do this is to use a cheap SATA adapter card that can provide a RAID-0 array (as well as other RAID variants) at the hardware level for 2 to 4 drives and present it to unRAID as if it was a single drive. I am using such a card to use 2x4TB drives inRAID-0 mode to give a 8TB drive at the unRAID level. You do not mention why you are intending to use 2xSSD's and for what usages? There may be an easy way to achieve what you want using standard capabilities.

Basically, I am running emby server and it appears that queries are taking more than what I like. If I add everything but my Movies and tv shows. It's snappy, but as soon as I add those folders, it takes anywhere from 3-9 seconds to load the images, etc. I was hoping to decrease this time by running two ssd's in raid-0. I'm already running an SSD as my cache with no other plugins running. It could be that in those directories alone, there are over 1k movies and 500+ tv shows with over 23k episodes.
