rafaelmazola Posted July 12, 2015 #1 Posted July 12, 2015 Folks, first of all thank you for all the hard work on developing and maintaining this awesome appliance. I am running the latest version as a virtual machine in vSphere ESXi 6.0. I have a PCIe SSD datastore that I would like to create two vmdk to be used as caching devices by Synology. When I present them to my Synology virtual machine the sofware recognizes them as HHD not SSD. Is it possible to tag the device so it recognizes as SSD? I don't want to passthrough the entire device. I rather use a vmdk. I have also already tried to add scsiX:Y.virtualSSD = 1 to the vmx file but the virtual machine still doesn't recognize as SSD. Any thoughts or ideas? Is there a way to force XPEnology to map a virtual device as SSD? Thank you!!!
diegot Posted July 19, 2015 #2 Posted July 19, 2015 I want to do exactly the same thing and did exactly what you've done and do not success too. Maybe someone else could help us.

renedis Posted July 28, 2015 #4 Posted July 28, 2015 If you want them to show up add the vmdk as a IDE device. But keep on dreaming, Synology Cache does not work in a virtual environment. Trust me, I've tried it loads of times. Yes you can add them as cache disk, it even starts too sync, but the sync will fail.
