    This is acceptable for commonly used, hot items. But you also need a colder storage for stuff that you ain’t gonna wear everyday!
    This young lady is just inefficient and has no care for the cost of hot cache.

    Personally, I use a top of bed hot cache, a chair warm cache and the rest in cold closet.

      I use to run my closet asynchronously like that, but I would loose way too many small packets waiting for the cache to fill. Especially when they were mirrored. Now I exclusively use synchronous writes to the cold store. It may be slower but it’s worth it for better data integrity.

      Oh pro tip, if you use a FAT filesystem avoid horizontal striping.
