Comment on The surreal joy of having an overprovisioned homelab (2025) - from Anubis creator
Zos_Kia@jlai.lu 2 weeks agoI see, that’s interesting. I do a lot of transcoding but offline so i don’t have usage for such a cache. I’ve tested various storage solutions but on my setup, transcoding is always CPU-bound, even on old ass HDDs the bottleneck is never I/O.

I do reencode bluray remuxes too, and also then use ramdisk for it.
I’ve just, always had enough ram to do it so I’ve stuck with it. And the ram is probably gonna take the wear better than SSDs do.
I also use it for download cache for some things, smaller things like music and books/manga.
