Zonediver Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Hi folks, just a question: Is it possible to use a USB 3.0 SSD as a Cache-Drive? The Controller on my Mainboard is from ASMedia. Thanks Edited August 15, 2017 by Zonediver Quote Link to comment

Physical stability is only one part of the equation, I'd be more concerned about the software stability. Keep an eye on the syslog for messages referencing that drive and any errors associated with it. Quote Link to comment
