Hi everyone.
Story:
I have a server that currently receives numerous image upload and download requests. On my workstation, I have sorted everything out by initially writing it to an NVME disk and then later transferring it to my 16TB HDD using a queue system. When a user requests an image, it is fetched from the HDD, and thumbnails and lower-quality versions of these images are generated and stored back on the NVME. This way, if the same image is requested again by a user, I can provide it at NVME speed.
However, this setup is no longer sufficient. My new startup is receiving so many images that it's not feasible to manage them on a single workstation and let it run continuously. So, I've decided to create a NAS server. I'm relatively new to NAS configuration and have read a lot of material, but I haven't found enough information on how to configure a system on my NAS.
What I'm trying to build is the following:
I have:
1 x 1TB NVME disk
2 x 512GB SSD disks
4 x 16TB HDD disks
I would like to create a system that initially writes everything to the NVME or SSD and then moves the data to the HDD. I've heard about mover tuning, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only option. Can anyone please guide me on whether UnRaid can solve this problem with high-speed data writing? I've already installed TrueNAS Scale, but I haven't found enough information for the setup I'm planning to create.
