Hello all. I have not yet had a chance to download drivepool, since I am waiting for my synology NAS to come, but first I have a question.
I am thinking of doing a duplicated folder setup. The source folder in my PC contains a VMWare VM on an SSD drive. The target folder for duplication will be on the synology NAS with a HDD.
Obviously there will be a huge speed difference between the write speed of the source and target. How will drivepool handle this huge discrepancy in write speed, is this even possible to do or inadvisable.
----
During heavy VM operations eventually there will be a big and continually growing discrepancy between the data written to the SSD and the NAS HDD. At some point I would guess DP will crash.
Or will DP limit the write speed of the SSD to match that of the target NAS HDD speed.
