I have a little home server, mainly used as storage for my stuff (pictures, videos and documents) via netatalk for my Mac clients.
The Server is a HP N40L with an AMD Turion 1.5 GHz CPU, 16 GB RAM and 4*1GB HDDs.
It fits very well for my needs...
I use FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE-p4 with ZFS (RAIDZ-1).
Now I have a 500 GB SSD laying around (Samsung EVO 850) and I wonder if I can use it as a cache device or someting. Does that make any sense at all? Whats the best way to do this?
