ITGuy1024 13 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Currently I have my Emby temp folder for cache files on the same Pool that the Emby Plugin is installed on along with where the media / movies are stored. Would I see any performance increase if I pointed that temp cache folder to a dedicated drive? My thought was that I'm already reading the data from the Pool and writing it back to the same hard disks is creating some delays in transcoding. But maybe not, just curious. Trying to get as much performance for streaming movies as possible without adding a GPU.

Luke 36876 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hi, the main question would be which is the faster drive? That will answer the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITGuy1024 13 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Drives are the same speed. What about adding a Cache drive to the Pool? I see the ZFS Cache filling up completely while streaming a movie. Edited August 2, 2020 by ITGuy1024 Forgot to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In FreeNAS you'll get more of a performance increase by increasing ram rather than cache since the ZFS file system will automatically use ram as cache. Even the fastest of SSD drives will be slower than ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
