Hi

Just installed 2 x SDD (480GB each) as a cache pool

How should i setup the Dynamix SSD Trim: Daily, weekly, etc...?

 

Thanks

 

Quick question about my cache drive:

Without cache, I could copy to my server at ~70 MB/s

With the cache drive, I do not see any improvement...............Is it because my controller is Sata II "only"?

 

Thanks

Was this with Turbo Write?

Are you copying to a cached User Share?

I just checked and Write method is set at Auto.....Should i leave it like that?

When I did my first test to transfer a large file (~20GB) with the cache pool installed, I noticed the parity drive's LED was blinking, so I realized I was probably not using the cache pool. So I googled it and found that each share must be configured to use the cache

So for each of my share (MOVIES, TV SHOWS and PHOTOS), I selected "Prefer"

 

But anyway, as of today, I transfer at approximately 70MB/s without cache pool, and exact same speed with cache (I'm using a LSI PCIe SAS9211-8i for all my data and parity drives) and the SATA II ports from the motherboard (an old one - BIOSTAR A785GE) for the 2 SSDs....

I do not think that means what you think it means. Please enable the help on that page and read the descriptions of the different cache settings carefully.

And see this post in the FAQ for more details on the user share cache settings:

Oh, OK.............So it should be "Yes" then?

 

 

Ok, so I tried again with settings at "yes", but I was transferring at 25/30MB/s this time.....will have to look at my bios

Also, there is a file in the cache (movie) that I really don't know how it ended there...

And when I launch the mover, the file doesn't move and stays into the cache

How do I delete a file from the cache (I don't care about this file actually)?

You can delete or move this file with the Krusader file manager wich is part of the community applications.

After trying few more times to "move" that file, I shut down the server, and restarted it

Once restarted, the file was gone..............Really don't know what happened

Anyway, I will install Krusader, it seems a good tool to have

Thanks
