I have a 150 GB database on the system drive (C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local) that I want to be split with pool SSD's. Note that I cannot move the location of the database, so I was thinking about using a hardlink?
The database goes through heavy operations every day which can really slow down the other services running on the system due to high system drive utilisation.
I have 4 SSD's in the pool which I want to use for the database. Right now those 4 SSD's are used for incoming files to speed things up before they are moved to one of the 10 HDD's I have to store the data. So the database should not be treated as ordinary files - the database should stay on the 4 SSD's at all times.
I also don't want the database to be visible as a folder (hidden is still not okay) on the drivepool.
How would I go about setting this up?
I was thinking about creating a new pool and adding the 4 SSD's. However, I can only see the drivepool I already have under non-pooled drives and therefore it would add all the drives and create the hidden poolpart folder.
I hope this makes sense. Thank you for taking your time to read this!
