jang430 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Can I use something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-6TB-Intel-DC-P3600-Series-SSDPEDME016T4-PCIe-3-0-MLC-SSD-100-Life/183327130640?epid=1440686492&hash=item2aaf260410%3Ag%3ApwYAAOSwKb1bS6EK&_sacat=0&_nkw=pcie+intel+dc&_from=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC0.A0.H0.Xpcie+intel+d.TRS0 even if my motherboard doesn't specifically say so? I do have spare PCIE 3.0 x4 slot. Will I get to optimize the speed? Is it supported in Unraid? Edited August 5, 2018 by jang430 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 It should work fine and perform normally, likely you just won't be able to boot from it but that doesn't matter with unRAID. Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 @johnnie.black, I'll throw in a follow-up question, I hope you can share your personal insights. If I did buy this, and used it as cache, how will it benefit my overall user experience when using unraid? I imagine if I create a VM, and disk is using cache, I'll be able to experience the benefit (speed) of nvme? What if I'm accessing this VM through RDP? Will the network be slow enough that I won't be able to realize any benefit in speed of the nvme? Quote Link to comment

Not a problem, network is just used to show the desktop image, not to transfer data. Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Thanks. I have another thread that asks the best way to access VM. Not much going on there. Seems the best way by far is via Moonlight. Though I still don't know what's the best way for Linux VMs.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
