Wurstsalat Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hey my SSD just died after I used it as cache for weeks. Now I got everything set up again and wanted to use my HDD as cache but it just let's me chose my SSD? How can I put the cache on my HDD?

0 Gbyrd Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 You have to detach your drive and reattach it on with the new drive cache. You cannot use external drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Wurstsalat Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 I have attached and detached it with trying to change the Drive cache. The HDD is an internal Sata drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Wurstsalat Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 So I can't change it from dynamic to basic without losing all my data so that is out of question for me. Is there another way to get it to work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there another way to get it to work? You might be able to use stable bit pool drive and make a new HDD from them. But i have personally never used that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our software supports dynamic disks. It's part design choice, and part ... dynamic disks are a train wreck and very prone to issues. Unfortunately, there isn't a good way to convert back to basic drives, without wiping the drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
