      I just built a pfSense box based on a 30gb mSata & due to my settings for squid3 (saving up to an 8mb file; ridiculous, i know), the drive slowly fills up, about 1% every day or every other day. Obviously this can't go on. I have a spare Samsung 840 (non-pro) 250gb SSD lying around w/o a use. This might be a good place to use it (along w/ altering the settings for cached file sizes).

      I wanted to know if anyone has set up a second SSD on 2.1.4 for uses of caching or anything else.

      This is for home use btw, so there's not going to be excessive traffic seen small business or larger environments.

      I'm fairly new to pfSense, but I haven't come across using a 2nd drive to cache files or anything. Is this a doable option?
