Using Storage Spaces Mirrored SSDs as L2 Cache?
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 9:13 am
I have a use case of which I'd be content to use a storage spaces Mirrored volume (SSDs) as the L2 cache if it would actually afford additional data integrity to the L2 cache. Any reason why it would be a terrible idea or perform awful?
I see when I go to create L2 storage that all of my mirrored Windows "Storage Spaces" volumes are indeed presented as possible volumes for use as L2 cache.
If it's a matter of hardware keeping up, the workstations I'd be doing it on have 20 cores, 256GB RAM, and the SSDs are U.2 just a step below Optane in IOPs.
