Comment on Data HDD with SSD catch drive
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 2 months agothis is just adding an extra step to the process before the file can be available to use. you’re just saving the copying to the HDD until the very end of the torrent.
what OP wants is to download the file to a SSD, be able to use it on the SSD for a time, and then have the file moved to spinning disk later when they don’t need to wait for it.
