Turbo write with cache drive?

Recommended Posts

So I'm using a 256gb SSD on my unraid setup. I currently have turbo-write enabled. Turbo write will only have all drives spun up during writes, correct? My thinking is the cache drive will deal with all the reads/writes, and then the scheduler will dump the cache every 3 hours to the array, at which time all drives will spin up and it will dump the cache as fast as possible. Is this the way it should work? When reading from the drives there should only be the drive spun up that it is reading the data from, right? I don't want all my drives spinning all the time, but I don't want to deal with the cache taking forever to dump.

Yes to both.
