I read that active databases shouldn't be stored on a pooled drive, which I can sort of understand the logic behind; they're particularly delicate things.
Are there any similar concerns with SFTP-ing large files (i.e. ~30 GB) straight into the pooled storage area, as the growing part file is repeatedly being written to in a way that could maybe (but I suspect not) be considered similar to the way a database is repeatedly written to?
I've already downloaded a bunch of ~30 GB movie files straight into my pool and it seems to be working perfectly but was just wondering what the best practice is with regards to large downloads that take a long time (sometimes over an hour per file). Is anyone here downloading large files directly to one drive (outside the pool) and then moving the file into the drive pool folder after that or would that be completely unnecessary?
I suspect it's not an issue but just wanted to double check what the best practice is when downloading large files via FTP or SFTP!
