You have 28TB on your HDDs and heard about using a M.2 drive for caching. You mentioned having 3-2TB Samsung 970 Pro SSDs, but you're unsure how to combine them with an M.2 card. Searching online didn't yield clear guidance, so I'm here to provide detailed advice. Consider checking compatibility with your motherboard and BIOS, ensuring the M.2 slot supports the required speed and capacity. Also, verify that your system can handle the data transfer without performance issues. If you need help finding the right tools or steps, let me know!

The drive configuration refers to organizing drives as individual units, often labeled with letters in Windows. A system like Primocache can help manage this setup effectively.

It varies based on your needs. If the 28TB consists mainly of large stored files, caching won't be effective. When executing programs, caching becomes useful.

My hard drive is separate, while the SSDs are configured in RAID 0.
