It would hinder only if the caching algorithm isn’t optimized correctly for the particular workload. Caching helps in three ways.

 

1. Data is preloaded for faster access and fewer disk operations.

2. Disk activity is deferred, which can be used to speed up uncached high priority requests or give the feeling of fast writes.

3. Recently accessed data (whether a read or write operation) can be read directly from the cache.

Akira Yamanita I was hoping the cache would fill with video apps like Plex and HDHomeRun. Thereby making them available from the faster hardware. It was wishful hoping as I knew if you opened let's say a spreadsheet on a regular basis it would cache that doc and probably not the entire Excel program.

Rud Dog It's mixed. If the app is running on the NAS, such as the web UI for Plex, then that would be cached. However, the UI probably loads just fine on whatever device but the remote UI components (the things that aren't part of the UI itself but needs to be presented) such as video thumbnails, previews, chapter points, etc. would all get a speed boost from having cache, and those are things that are likely to drag the interface performance down.
