I've been running my drive with a cache on my RAID so far, but due to the amount of i/o from other apps causing a bottleneck from time to time, I've been considering getting a dedicated SSD to use as a cache drive. My only concern with moving it off my RAID is, what happens when the cache drive fails? The way I see it, there's a few different scenarios here. For instance, there could only be downloaded read cache stored on the cache at the time of failure, there could be an actively uploading write cache, or there could be an upload queue with uploads currently paused. There could be other cases I haven't considered too. What I'm interested is what would happen if the drive failed in any of these scenarios. What protections does CloudDrive have to prevent or limit data loss/corruption in the cloud?
