Christopher, im actually fairly confident that there is a problem here.
 
I have been troubleshooting this, also in correspondance to the other thread I have posted in, and whenever writes are going to the clouddrive cache it is slow as hell - Recently I picked up some new Samsung 960Pro nvme drives, thought it would be fun to test them out so I put 2 of them together in a raid0 and used them strictly for cache for the clouddrive, that should eliminate any kind of performance issues as those drives are basically able to write in the GB\s range - But im still seeing subpar performance as in writes to the clouddrive cache is below 10MB\s with it being fully maxed out according to windows.
 
Im not sure if it is something to do with the settings or a software problem, I can simply let you know that the slowdowns are really odd, to the point that faster drives provide no faster throughput on the cache drive, the two 960Pro drives provided me with ~1MB\s more than my single Kingston SSD I have been using in the past.
 
It has come to the point where I have simply uninstalled the clouddrive software, and now use rclone to move my data to google instead as that is about 15 times faster.

Will do that this coming monday, im away on business atm.
 
Thanks for coming back to me.

Hi,
 
I see, that might explain the behaviour that I was seeing previously.
 
Im most likely going to move my data to drivepool instead of flexraid pooling, mainly because there's active development here which I hope will continue in the future
 
Buying a license for all 3 products tomorrow when im back home, little help from my end to make ends meet and hopefully keep things running.
 
Thanks again for the help!

Hi guys,
 
Im just posting this to get a feel for how to configure this, I have for the last couple of years used Flexraid Pooling for my drives, as I really only need it to put together the drives into a single fileshare, this has been quite okay so far but im starting to feel the urge to test something new.
 
DrivePool appears to allow me to add some SSDs as write cache, however I cannot seem to figure out how to get this working smoothly, sometimes it would flush to the drives, other times it wouldn't - The most recent one before giving up for now it stated that it flushed all data, but the data remained on the SSD but the folder for the file was created on all 4 drives at the same time, one drive had the "subs" folder for the movie, another had the .nfo file but the actual files were still on the SSD.
 
What im looking for here, is basically a way to let everything land on the SSD, when that gets to about ~70% used it will start flushing the oldest data onto the drives, filling the drives up one by one until the threshold that I set in settings, but it appears that there's so many duplicate places to define this.
 
Can someone please help me here? I just need this as a basic pooling option, no need for duplication or anything like that as I already have backups in place for the important data.
 
In the future, I would like to use clouddrive with a google drive linked to it as a duplication destination, but it appears to not be working as intended, it will randomly drop duplicated data on the local drives aswell even though I have set them for unduplicated data only, if someone can point me in the right direction on that matter it would be awesome aswell!
 
Thanks!
