Storage Best Practices

Cache Usage

  • Prefer: Data written to cache first, then moved to array (good for appdata)
  • Yes: Always on cache (fast but no parity protection)
  • No: Direct to array (slower but parity protected)
  • Only: Cache only, never moves to array

Parity Considerations

  • Parity disk(s) must be equal to or larger than the largest data disk
  • Two parity disks recommended for arrays with 6+ drives
  • Monthly parity checks help detect drive issues early
