Emby on M2 NVME SSD as storage volume

[Ahole 17]

Has anyone found any significant advantage of installing the Emby server on an SSD (M2 NVME) installed as a storage volume instead of a cache drive?

I have read and listened to several people who suggested putting docker installs on the SSD , and virtual machines on an SSD for improved performance.  The theory for Emby is that the files are so larger there is as much opportunity for increeased performance with using ssd just for cache.

Hi, I haven't heard of running an SSD this way on Synology, but I do know that the cache drives will improve the performance of the entire system.

I saw / heard several places -- the first was someone wanting to increase performance with virtual machines.  And you know I have been experimenting with Windows Emby server vs NAS Emby server

Lots of discussion here but think more toward cache then usage.

 

Don't have Synology but have Emby installed on a NVME and it is faster that my SSD or HDD installs.
