I have 2 120GB SSD Cache drives That I want to use for nothing but cache. I have them plugged in and the SSD Optimizer plugin to see them as Cache drives. My goal is for these to be 100% flow-through with no data stored permanently.
Right now, both drives have 23.1GB of data stored on them. It looks like the balancer moved files to them there based on date/time stamps. When copying over about 75GB of files just now and watching the disk performance, it was writing directly to the Archive drives skipping the cache.
I've reset the plugin and it is the first on the list for priority. Default is 75% fill for cache then 90% to archive. There is still about 7.5 TB or room left in the pool not including cache drives.
Do I need to un-check the cache drives from the file placement tab?
Edit
To also add, I have 3 other Balancers enabled. Maybe I need to turn 2 of them off? The three others enabled (in priority order) are
StableBitScanner
Volume Equalization
Duplication Space Optimizer
I'm thinking maybe these last 2 are the ones that might be conflicting here.
