I read through the "Understanding the Cache" but cannot find any answer about columns and cache.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/understand-the-cache
Does cache affects columns at all? If I have 6 capacity drives per server I can still do 6 columns per virtual disk, correct? I am not limited to 3 columns because each cache drive caches for 3 capacity drives?

Though not in a cached setup, I found some benchmarks here showing that going from 4 to 8 columns actually gives 300% performance increase, not just 2x: http://www.miru.ch/why-column-size-does-matter-with-storage-spaces/
