    Man you’re slow.

    I don’t need to think about anything. I’ve built out millions upon millions of dollars worth of infrastructure over the past 20 years. I understand the options.

    I answered the question asked. Others hinted at raid solutions. OP went out of his way to let us know how he’s a newb so good luck with that.

    Long term solution is 100% setting up a raid.

    Yeah, of course it is. Because that’s what OP asked for. I don’t see ( use it for a bit first and then automatically copy it over ).

    I see:

    Is it possible to use SSD drive as a catch drive for 12 TB HDD so it uses SSD speeds when downloading and moves files to HDD later on?

    I assumed OP wanted Faster Download Speeds > Time to Access File

    You know what. I don’t care. This whole post is ridiculous.

    Of course it’s an additional step. But it will download faster. Which was what you asked for, specifically in your post above.

    If you write directly to your HDD it will take longer to download. If you write to your ( faster?) SSD the download will be faster but yeah, processing has another step of copying.

    I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you’re asking.

    Best of luck.
