I have an 8tb harddrive and 256gb sdd and I want to use them as a game drive on linux. I’m not sure what’s the best method for setting that up is or if it’s even a good idea.

    Yeah I’d consider that an unusual setup, most users probably aren’t using that combo of hardware (and possibly outdated software with its windows 7 screenshots in the link).

    Also notably it only supports up to 64GB cache drives, so the OS/filesystem implimentation case would include OPs situation - regardless of the CPU/manufacturer theyre using.

      It’s not that unusual and there are AMD options. That was just the Dell link. I used it on an asus board. I think any intel chip with a bios that supports raid will work. There’s an amd version but I’ve never used it.

      It might make a resurgence but with smaller nvme+sata ssd if costs remain high. Stranger things are happening right now.
