Question about the cache drive


Recommended Posts

Hello, I am trying unraid and so far loving it. I am planning to use a NVME ssd only for storing VMs and Docker containers. So the questions:
 

- For this configuration should I configure the NVME as a cache or as an unassigned device?

- In the future, when I upgrade the machine to have multiple ethernet ports, I will be limited by the array speed, so I will need to add a sata ssd cache pool. Can I have the sata ssd cache pool exclusively for cache and the NVME exclusively for docker containers and VMs?

 

Thanks for the help!
