Benchmark test
Benchmark is done with gnome-disk-utility 3.24.1
HDD with BTRFS
read: 55.7 MB/s write: 51.3 MB/s access: 13.6 ms
SSD
read: 372.1 MB/s write: 299.1 MB/s access: 0.2 ms
HDD with BTRFS + cache on SSD
This is the final result
read: 24.8 MB/s write: 54.4 MB/s access: 18.26 ms
How the cache was created
sudo python2 CLI/eio_cli create -d /dev/sdi101 -s /dev/sdh2 -mwb -c CACHE
