[RFC] SSD Cache Management about stash HOT 2 OPEN

The implementation sounds like it would only get out of hand and doesn't exactly align with the core ethos of stash which is local content management. This would also have to expand it's own scope outside of stash itself because of the remote access, which would probably be better suited for a plugin. Notably

• management of an external library, with known duplicates
• validation and processing of that external library
• browser client must have knowledge of the external library and ability to access the remote library

I can see why the secondary goal may be useful, but it's probably something something to do with a plugin or companion app.

I might suggest if you're having trouble with videos over the network the issue may be your drive has spun down or your server is slow, rather than an SSD improving it, fixing those other items may help it more. Unless viewing enormous numbers of small files (eg large image galleries) hard drives are actually more than fast enough. I don't have this 'buffer for a few seconds' problem unless my CPU is busy doing something else, or the drive has gone to sleep.
