[tlug] SSD caching of 10x 10GB files on slow NAS

[Miles Colman <mcolman@example.com>]

Hi TLUG,

I was wondering if there is some automatic linux-based system to cache 100 GB to 200 GB of data on one SSD automatically to make loading 10 GB files from a slow NAS (where the files live) snappy for about 5 users at once.
I'm guessing this would be simple if the NAS were actually just a 2 TB drive installed in a rackmount server with an open drive bay, and adding the SSD just meant connecting it.

Anyone have ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Miles
