I could have sworn i read you could only cache underlying disks. Was this changed in a more recent version and i was perusing outdated information? If so, big OOOOF for me. I designed my entire pool (actually made multiple) to avoid running into issues with this. Here I am.

these are both pools of 10 or so disks each.

PrimoCache caches based on logical volumes. If a volume is listed in Windows Disk Manager, it can be cached by PrimoCache.

I believe the DrivePool drive letters are deceptive. They're actually just tiny lists of file data referencing the files on the physical drives. Does no good to cache them, but it works great if you cache the underlying physical drives that make up your pool.

I'm using DrivePool now with with L1 and L2 cache across all drives and the results have been amazing.
