Intelligent vs Average Deferred Write modes

[JDE1000]

I have a large Storage Pool (D drive) I use mainly for torrents and Plex storage. Torrents are busy reading and writing 24/7.

System I9-9700
2 TB system NVME SSD (non cached)
64Gb ram
20TB Storage pool of HDD's and SSD's.
1 2TB external NVME SSD (10 GB USB Enclosure) used as an L2 Cache for the Storage pool combined read write
29GB ram devoted to L1 Cache for the Storage Pool combined read write.
Deferred write on 60 seconds


I'm wondering in this scenario the best deferred write method? I've tried Intelligent and Average. Both seem to work fine but is there an advantage to using one or the other (or the other methods)? Is one method faster all around? Is one method more efficient overall? Is one method easier on system resources all around?

Thank you

If Intelligent works well, then use Intelligent. Average has more data flushing activity to the target disk. You can use Windows Performance Monitor to check and compare disk activity in these modes.
