Best write or read/Write settings for a non-boot drive used for mass game installation storage

I apologize now for my ignorance, I used Fuze drive since I got a free copy with an AMD CPU several years back 😅

I have used a 10 TB Western digital black paired with a 1 TB nmve gen4 drive - if I am using these as a drive where I install programs that I intend to run every now and again

Which of the four main configuration options should I use?

Accelerate read, accelerate write, accel writ + L2 or accel read&write?

At this time the drive is not actually full of data as it basically got completely wiped by me trying to uninstall Fuze drive... So there will be a lot of writing on to the drive

Thank you everybody for your attention and input

You can use 1TB nmve ssd as level-2 cache to speed up the 10TB HDD. If you don't want to introduce the risk of data loss, you can choose "Accelerate Read" only. These preset configuration options just for suggestions, you can tune any configuration parameter after you choose the preset configuration.

If you want to speed up writes on the HDD, you need to enable Defer-Write. For more information about Defer-Write, please see
