Question

Posted

I set up a new pool in my gaming computer yesterday. The pool consist of three drives, 2 M.2 and one SSD. One of the M.2 drives is much faster than the others so I made rules for some of my games folders that they should only be kept on this specific drive. This worked fine for the most part, Destiny 2 was evenly distributed to all three drives despite this but It doesn't really matter since that is not a particularly heavy game. 
What didn't sit well with me was that since I turned balancing OFF, I got that recommended to me since it's games and not "data storage", the drives are not equally balanced with files. Is there a drawback to use balancing on this particular use case or should I have it set so it will balance?

Ok, thank you for your reply. Have turned it on since I really don't see all that much balancing activity on my server. Static files are mostly just that, static. Shouldn't need much balancing except when installing a new game or removing an old, or during updates. In my opinion.
