jorge16 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 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! Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 With just the NVMe device I would use it as cache for now, so you could also cache some writes, assuming the available space is enough, but if you plan to add a cache pool soon probably best to use it as unassigned device from the start, also yes to the second question.
