Just ordered my new hardware but unsure if this will work.

 

Unraid setup and running (dam, I love Unraid) .. VM1 Windows 10 with gfx card, keyboard passed through to VM1...

 

Can I put the VM1 on my NVME which is set as unassigned device?.

 

I don't want the VM1 on my cache if possible as the NVME has the speed and I want it as my main OS.

 

Thanks in advance

I don't have any direct experience with NVME's but it should work.

The nice thing of the cache is you can set it up as a raid pool, thereby increasing the performance of the total pool as compared to a single disk.

 

I have a cache pool of 4 SSDs in raid10 configuration. This cache pool services my VMs, Docker containers and occasionally acts as cache to the array. It runs extremely smooth

 

Yes, it works with the unassigned devices plugin.

Thanks for the replies gentalman.

I have decided to go with a larger nvme.. 500gb. The board I am getting has 2 nvme slots, so will get a second nvme in summer putting the 2 nvme in raid 0 and loose my existing 500gb cache.. Keeping the 2 nvme (1tb) exactly as your doing.
