I'd like to get the SSD Optimizer as close to a true write cache as I can, at least as far as keeping the amount of space used on the SSD as minimal as possible, over the long term. From the comments in SSD Optimizer problem I've configured my Balancing settings to:
activate with at least 2GB data
Balance ratio of 100%
Run not more then every 30 minutes
The SSD Balancer itself I have configured as:
Fill SSD to 40% (around 400GB)
Fill archive drives to 90%
or Free space is at 300GB
Does this seem like it should do roughly what I want?
The balancing ratio I was a little concerned was going to cause my archive disks to all re-balance, though none of them hit either of the fill settings I have, so I think I'm ok there? I'm a little fuzzy on that ratio. With it set to 100%, does that mean it should trigger the move on the SSD as long as it's above 2GB data, or is it still waiting to the 40% mark (the interaction of the ratio to % full triggers is where I'm unclear).
These are semi-short term settings, I'm performing a data recovery at the moment, so I'm doing a lot of writes, which is why I want to cache to fast storage, but offload ASAP.
