SSD Read cache question

unitech89e9

When I see the domcument

https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/e-series-santricity-116/sm-storage/ssd-cache-and-volumes.html

it say "In SSD Cache, the data is copied from volumes and stored on two internal RAID volumes (one per controller) that are automatically created when you create an SSD Cache."

I think,if there is only one SSD Cache,will system also create two internal RAID volumes?

So I use simulator to make a lab,

I Create two Pool

and create one SSD read cache

then I create three volume,two volume in pool1,and one volume in pool2

and I change the volume's ownership just like below

In this time,I just have only one SSD read cache,

So I enable the SSD read cache in each volume,

and it been enable in simulator,

So my question is,

Why I can enable SSD Cache in each volume with only one SSD Read Cache ?

Is the only one SSD  Read Cache been split two volume and assign to each controller?

That's what the documentation says:

> Currently, only one SSD Cache is supported per storage array.

Also make sure the rest of restrictions and procedures are acceptable.

SSD Cache will help improve read performance only if write workload % is very low (say, below 20%).
