I would like to passthrough the SSD

as for SSD, you should care about how it's being trimmed - connect it to Mobo Sata port(i read somewhere IBM1015 wont support trim on all SSDs), and use trim plugin to get SSD trimmed at least once a week.

if you won't write to cache very intensive then your cache drive should last for years.

 

i'm using Hardware RAID1(two 1TB HDD) as my cache for now, but i'm planning to switch to BTRFS RAID1 pool. but i'm not using my cache drive for docker - i'm mounting addition small ESXi virtual drive(SSD physically) for this.
