QNAP SSD for Roon - dedicated SSD or does SSD Caching work just as well?

ram usage is insane!

after startup i have 5 gb at idle. plex with the same media (mostly audiobooks) and 100tb other stuff has 100mb ram usage max at idle
probably could stream 5 4k movies and record 4 tv channels at the same time and would not have 5 gb usage. it makes no sense

“I believe cache acceleration work best when say you are editing large files eg;4k videos. So when reading a small music file it doesn’t help much at all.”

in general its the opposite, its better to have smaller files whitch you need often on cache, but not needed for musik files which are in permanent load when listening. for example, open an image which is 50mb should be loaded instantly, afap, but you have minutes to “load” a flac file. (and video editing should be done localy on an internal m.2 ssd)

set cache for artwork to 64mb helps
