How important is HDD Cache Speed for a PLEX Server?
Hello guys, First post here so please go easy on me. Been running a (family) Plex server on my gaming tower for the last couple of years, just got my hands on a diskless ReadyNAS 214 and plan...
Thanks Bob!
Really appriciate your helpful reply :)
I'll ask over at Plex as well :smileyvery-happy:
Note that the NAS is doing it's own caching in RAM, so the on-disk cache is only part of the story.
The streaming itself looks like a large sequential file read to the NAS, so I don't think the caching will matter much there (even if there are multiple users). Speed of browsing the database might improve a bit, but I don't think it's a big consideration (odds of browsing the database at the same time are relatively low anyway).
Brilliant Stephen, many thanks!
