apparently freetube automatically uses a new invidious instance every time it starts up.

can you copy files to it from another local disk?

agreed, I think there is something else going on here. test the write speed with another application, I doubt the drive actually maxes out at 40MB/s unless it’s severely fragmented or failing.

incidentally what OP wants is how most people set up Unraid servers. SSD cache takes incoming files for write speed, then at a later time the OS moves the files to the spinning disk array.

I did not even realize until reading this comment that Nothing was a company.
