SSD cache configuration.png

Disk 1 set up as read-only cache (10% over provisioning) for both non-SSD storage pools. Cache mode All I/O optimizes for file shares, not for VMs and databases.

The following warning most likely only applies to write-caches as the read-only cache data is redundant to the data stored on the HDDs.
