What’s new: SSD caching can significantly improve access times by using an SSD as a cache for frequently accessed data, particularly beneficial for systems with slower primary storage like traditional hard drives. However, it is less effective for setups already utilizing fast SSDs, such as gaming PCs.
Who’s affected
Users with NAS or home servers that utilize hard drives can benefit from SSD caching, while those with high-performance SSD setups may not see significant improvements.
What to do
- Consider implementing SSD caching on NAS or home server systems to enhance performance, especially when dealing with multiple hard drives.
- For systems with fast SSDs, focus on other upgrades such as increasing RAM or upgrading the CPU for better overall performance.
