kreene1987 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) As someone recently and now fully committed to Unraid and still generally aware of what other options exist (most of the time), I was reading into WSS in WS12 and looked at some of the new featured and wondered if they had ever been considered for the Unraid roadmap: Feature/functionality New or updated? Description Storage tiers New Automatically moves frequently accessed data to faster (solid-state drive) storage and infrequently accessed data to slower (hard disk) storage. Write-back cache New Buffers small random writes to solid-state drives, reducing the latency of writes. Parity space support for failover clusters New Enables you to create parity spaces on failover clusters. Dual parity New Stores two copies of the parity information on a parity space, which helps protect you from two simultaneous physical disk failures and optimizes storage efficiency. Automatically rebuild storage spaces from storage pool free space New Decreases how long it takes to rebuild a storage space after a physical disk failure by using spare capacity in the pool instead of a single hot spare Just wondering of thoughts. Personally the last item (pool space rebuild) and storage tiers based on data usage sound extremely enticing. I have (albeit manual) cache only setup for my faster needs, dual parity is already done (and is amazing). Just thinking about automating some of the data manipulation for speed and safety got me thinking... Thoughts?

kizer Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Why not just write to SSD and be done with it? Basically its exactly what I do for everything. I know your asking for more, but its helped me significantly with my setup. Quote Link to comment
