Hi guys. Long time follower. Excellent info, thank you for all you do. My question pertains to my new QNAP h674 I just received. My main areas of use are PLEX, multimedia, File sharing with family, friends, as well as I maintain my consulting customers backup data on the same NAS. Old nas is TVS 671 I am decommissioning.
Hardware on hand: h674 i5 32GB, 2 x Samsung nvme 1tb, 4 x WD Red Pro 20TB
Im not sure best use for nvme drives. First thought was should I set them up as first pool (system pool) or set the system pool as the 4 Western Digs raid 5 and then add the nvmes as caching later? QNAP setup video starts with nvmes as system but i see your video says use 1st pool with SATA disks. I do have many 4k movies I will be playing.
Can you please advise and explain benefits of each way for my understanding?
THANK YOU!
Lou
