Just checking to see if anyone has done any testing with cachecade? We're planning some testing using a lsi 9266 and 9 450gb sas drives using 1 intel 520 for ssd caching.

Pointless with a StarWind. Upcoming V8 will have flash caching. Real one (cache synchronized between hosts so a real safe write-back + VMs start from a "hot" state when moved to another one dynamiclly + our flash cache survives reboots, again VMs start from a "hot" state). StarWind paradigm is - invest $ into commodity hardware. So instead of a cache controller and SLC buy a lot of a SATA and MLC. And RAM. We'll do the magic.

Ok, so you will need direct access to the ssd drive then?

No, we'll be fine with any RAID. Software or hardware.
