Correct settings suggestion for SSDs and file placement

[electricpol]

I am looking for some suggestions on the correct settings for have an SSD cache and file placement rules.

Here is what I have:

1x 500 GB SSD (2.5)

1x 1TB SSD (2.5)

1x 1TB NVMe drive

8x Archive Disks

• I am looking to have at least one of the SSD dedicated as the cache drive
• I would like a particular folder folder to just be placed on two of the SSDs for primary and duplicated files. I don't want this folder to go on spinning rust disks ever. These two drives can also be used as SSD cache if possible as well
• All other files can go to SSD cache then to spinning archive disks during balancing

What are the best possible settings for this. I have tried a lot of thing but It seems like the files keep getting moved around to the spinning archive disks (the folder mentioned above)

you'd want to:
    * UNCHECK "File placement rules respect real-time file placement limits set by the balancing plug-ins."
    * CHECK "Balancing plug-ins respect file placement rules."
