I forgot to mention that drives A & B are the same size, while drive C is smaller.

OK, I think I'll skip the extra step of adding the system drive to the pool and rely on Clouddrive's caching. Yes, that's right. So in my case, drive A and B the (offsite cloud providers) should have "duplicated" checked, and drive C (NAS) should have both "unduplicated" and "duplicated" checked, is that correct? Does that mean that new data will be added to drive C first, since I have disabled "Real-time duplication"? What about the "Duplication Space Optimizer", should that be used in my scenario?

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me look over the correct settings for my pool. I'm using the latest beta of all products, including Scanner. I want to mirror two virtual drives (drive A & drive B ) which are offsite providers, and have additional duplication on a subset of files using a cloud drive on my NAS (drive C). I want writes to the drive to land on the system drive first (which is an SSD) and the NAS second (in case space runs out on the system drive), and automatic balancing to take place during the night. After that, I'd like only the folders with 3x duplication to go on the NAS. What confuses me is the options under Balancing, as I don't think I fully understand the Duplicated/Unduplicated checkboxes. Do I add the system drive to the pool, using the SSD optimizer plugin, or let the Clouddrive expandable cache handle it? Do I designate the NAS a SSD since it's much faster than the offsite virtual drives? Thanks in advance!
