【Join Our Co-creative Technological Solutions Discussion】About Accelerating HDD With SSD Context

Another survey regarding accelerating HDD with SSD Context:

Some user has a spare SSD/NVME but does not neccessary need to store anything on it. A good use of this spare SSD/NVME we are looking into, is to use it to accelerate any mechanical HDD in the box. Additionally, having a cache layer potentially gives HDD more relief by being able to sleep longer (a bit).

Questions:

  • How interested are you about this idea? 1 (least) to 10 (most)

  • Do you have a preferred cache tool (e.g. FlashCache, EnhanceIO, dm-cache, Bcache)? Why is it?

  • How long have you been using this technique to accelerate?

  • Is ability to toggle it ON and OFF critical? Or leave it ON behind the scene all the time?
