Just got a new Drobo 5N last week. I also picked up a Patriot Pyro M3 128GB Msata card.
After popping it in and starting up the Drobo, I expected to see in the DroboDashboard the area that says ‘hot data cache’ turned to on. However I have had the drobo running all weekend and it still shows it set to off. I have been doing a lot of reading from the drives, but still have yet to see the hot cache turned to the on state.
Does it only show as enabled when it is actually performing caching operations, or should I be seeing the hot data cache enabled immediately upon restarting with the chip in. If that is the case…need to figure out why it is not showing up as enabled, if it is the Drobo or the chip…
