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!
