casperse Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Hi I really like the cache setup but I would like to have all Appdata + VM's + Plex metadata + temp downloads on it Not having the array spin-up is a plus and speed is great To do that I have to extend my cash size, I have two options 1) Buy another M.2 SSD 1TB and setup as Raid 0 (Auto monthly backup to array?) 2) Replace the M.2 SSD with a Intel-600p-Series-SSDPEKNW020T801-2TB (Cost would be around the same and speed would be 1/4 of the above solution) Loading metadata from plex and scrolling through my media collection seem to be a bottleneck need all the speed I can get... :-) Any drawbacks using Raid in cache setup? - I have read about Cash in Raid 0 it should be well tested now right? I want a stable system so that would be a deciding factor going for 1 single M.2 SSD As always I hope to learn from people who already have or have tried this Thanks Casperse UPDATE: This answers my question pretty good (So I went with one M.2 and not 2 in raid 0 Edited February 23, 2020 by casperse Quote Link to comment
casperse Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Ups forgot the limitation of the PCI-E .... reading this I think adding a extra M.2 would break my last PCI-E for my plans adding a 10GB card So I guess its option 2...
