Massive SSDs? Nah, just a couple of 1TB drives as cache. The rest of my 120TB is spinning disks :)
Interesting. Are you pre-caching contents on the faster drives? How are you going about it?
I use Unraid as my server OS. It has a mechanism for caching file writes to the slower array disks.
Docker containers running the -arrs and Plex live on the SSDs so they load faster. Downloads are cached to SSDs so that read/write speed isn't a limit when lots of downloads are running simultaneously. The downloads then get moved to a spinning disk array for long term storage whenever Unraid runs it's 'mover' operation.
