Help? I'm using DrivePool in Windows Server 2019 with the WSEE role added. Having used Mike Craven's WSEE utility to do that, everything works exactly like WSEE 2016, plus I get the underlying 2019 improvements. I built the server with new hardware (MS Gen10+ with max RAM) and OS, then installed DP and the data drives. DP found and rebuilt the pools as expected and it appears in the WSEE dashboard just as it did in WSEE 2016.
The server is just for home use, being the 4th in a series starting with the original WHS. It's used to store family data, backups (which I really don't use, having OneDrive) and secure remote access to apps using WSERemoteApps. I may add a VM to play with Linux but I haven't yet after contemplating it over 10 years.
After rearrangement drives and pools, I now have the following
C: OS, 232 GB SSD
F: 120 GB SSD
The two drives above are pooled as "Cache", with file duplication. The smaller size of drive F: limits encroachment (I think?) on the larger OS drive C:.
D: 2 TB WD Red
G: 2 TB partition on 3 TB WD Red
The two above are pooled as "Data". All files are duplicated. The pool is less than 1/2 full.
H: 1 TB partition on same 3 TB WD Red is not pooled and has no content at this time.
I have SSD Optimizer installed and would like to optimize it for speed. I don't care how much of the cache pool is utilized since (I believe) it won't use more than 120GB on the OS drive. If frequently used files stay there, that's fine, but I want them duplicated in the WD Red pool in a timely way. Because they're also duplicated on the SSD, It needn't be immediate.
Suggestions? What info do you need from me to offer guidance, if you're willing?
Thanks in advance.
