November 18, 20205 yr Hello all, My cache drive is no longer big enough for what I store on it. I want to replace my single 500gb SDD with a 1TB SSD. I did a search, and I found this guide: https://wiki.unraid.net/Replace_A_Cache_Drive which seems straightforward, but it's also pretty old. I believe it was last updated in 2017, before cache pools were a thing. Is that above tutorial still the best way to do it, or is it better do something with cache pool shenanigans (add the new drive to a cache pool, and then subtract the original drive) or some other new way of doing it that I hadn't found in my search? I am terrified of doing this wrong and screwing up my Plex install. Thank you! Edited November 18, 20205 yr by Ouze typo
November 18, 20205 yr When I did mine I copied everything that isn't in the appdata folder to a share and used the CA Backup/Restore plugin and used it to create a backup of all my appdata to a share. Swapped out my SSD and then used the restore feature of the CA Backup/Restore plugin. Even if you are a little nervous you can easily just copy everything to a share on your network, but for me using the Backup/Restore of the of plugin made it super easy.
