demonofelru Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hi there! First of all sorry for the super generic title. Wanted to do a quick sanity check on how I’m thinking of setting up my cache array. I’m thinking of setting up a relatively large cache array of SSDs. Thinking 8tb or 4tb mirrored. I know the whole disk spin down thing is a bit contentious, but I’m in the spin down camp. I was thinking of setting the mover to only run once a month figuring that new files are most likely to be accessed shortly after being added then super rarely accessed after that, for example new TV Shows. This way I imagine I could have all disks spun down 99.9% of the time. With a monthly mover and parity check it would likely result in one spin up a month for most months. Anybody else have a set up like this? Any foreseeable problems besides the initial cost for SSDs being a decent chunk? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
