When dealing with large projects or managing multiple projects simultaneously, it may be beneficial to use multiple cache drives. Using multiple drives allows you to pre-cache your media when a single drive doesn't have sufficient capacity to store everything.
Steps to switch your cache from one drive to another
⚠️ Important: The allocated cache size within Suite must remain the same⚠️
In this video, we’ll switch from the drive with "Project A" pre-cached to the drive with "Project B" pre-cached.
Step 1. Navigate to "Cache Settings" and remove the Pre-cache path (this automatically moves the pre-cached data to “On Demand”).
Step 2. Disconnect the Drive
A warning prompt will say: "The configured cache location is unreachable. If the connection is not restored within 5 minutes, Suite will revert to the default location."
Step 3. Plug in the NEW Drive > click "Change Location" > select the new drive.
Step 4. Click "+Add To Cache" to add the file or folder to that drives Pre-cache
Step 5. Need to switch to a different drive? Repeat Steps 1-4
💡 Best Practices for Using Multiple Cache Drives
• Organize by Project or Folder: Assign specific drives to specific projects or folders to keep your data organized and minimize confusion.
• Monitor Available Space: Regularly check the available space on your cache drives to ensure there’s enough room for large media files and previews.
