What if I bought a RAID controller with two NVMe or mSATA slots and put two SSD's and two HDD's in separate RAID0 arrays and THEN using the RAID0 SSD's as a cache using Primocache? All RAID done through the RAID cards bios.
One benefit would be that the first read or write load won't be as slow because the HDD's are in RAID0. Good for gaming.
I can see something like this costing no more then maybe around $350. Cheaper then a 4TB SSD.
2x2TB old NAS HDD's from like 2016 - $100
2x120GB-256GB mSATA or Nvme SSD's - $60
RAID controller - $100 M.2 RAID Controller Card + 2x SATA Ports - SATA Controller Cards (startech.com)
Primocache - $30
I looked all over YouTube and Bing search for something like this and I didn't find anything.
