I have a Synology DS925+ that I am setting up for a small business (between 10 and 20 users). It will be used primarily for two purposes:
1. A local network fileshare (mostly documents and small files, but also some larger video files)
2. Active Backup for Microsoft 365
It is configured with 4 x 16 TB Seagate ST16000NT001-3LV101 hard drives in an SHR2 Storage Pool. I have created 2 x ~14 TB Volumes, as in the past, I have had issues with Windows accessing spaces > 16 TB with normal size file blocks. I also have 2 x 1 TB M.2 Samsung SSD 990 Pro drives to use for caching. I have followed your video and docs for using Synology HDD db so that I can use the Samsung drives for caching. I have set the script to run automatically on reboots.
My questions are as follows:
- Can you use SSD Caching across two separate volumes?
- If I were to use a read/write cache with pinned btrfs metadata (for Active Backup), how risky is it if the ssd array failed? Is all lost?
- all advice appreciated
