I'm interested in trying to use an SSD cache drive for some of my RAID volumes. The only problem is the 3ware 9750-8i doesn't have SSD caching as a feature like some of the LSI controllers with CV, etc.
Has anyone ever taken their volumes pre-configured by a RAID controller, created pools in Storage Spaces, and then gave those pools an SSD cache? What were your experiences with this? Did it create issues or performance problems from being layered by a RAID controller and then storage spaces? Did it increase performance as expect?
To reiterate, I'm basically saying
1. Create RAID volume in controller(In my case I have 10TB RAID10 and 18TB RAID6).
2. Create 2 Storage Spaces pool out of those volumes, having the same capacities and not mirroring or doing parity
3. Create SSD cache for them
Thanks!
