That's really up to you. I use a 2TB SSD that in a 4-5 years I'll end up replacing with whatever the next 'cheap' SSD size is. It's really overkill, but for me, it's not that expensive and feels like a good bang for the buck. I try to avoid spinning disk if I can.
Is there a way to have my entire mount cached? What flag would that be if that's possible?
Here's my current command;
rclone mount --allow-other --allow-non-empty --no-traverse --dir-cache-time 72h --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-read-chunk-size 64M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 128Mi --vfs-read-ahead 256Mi --buffer-size 512Mi --attr-timeout 1s --vfs-cache-max-age 8700h --vfs-cache-poll-interval 1m --vfs-cache-max-size 100G --cache-dir /home/plex/mounts/cache --log-level INFO dropenc: /home/plex/mounts/dropbox/
I think that’s local storage 
Make the cache as big as you want as that’s how you’d do it.
I editted my post, would you change anything on my mount to make it perform better?
Editing posts makes it super tough to figure out what changes. Much easier to just reply.
What is the current issue you are facing?
Is there anything you would change on this mount, in terms of performance.
rclone mount --allow-other --allow-non-empty --dir-cache-time 72h --vfs-cache-mode full --vfs-read-chunk-size 64M --vfs-read-chunk-size-limit 128Mi --vfs-read-ahead 256Mi --buffer-size 512Mi --attr-timeout 1s --vfs-cache-max-age 8700h --vfs-cache-poll-interval 1m --vfs-cache-max-size 100G --cache-dir /home/plex/mounts/cache --log-level INFO dropenc: /home/plex/mounts/dropbox/
Yes, I posted above already but you seemed to not use that.
Ah, I thought you didn't recommend using /dev/shm/cache. Would you recommend using /home/plex/mounts/cache instead?
I have my service file I use here:
It's well documented in why I choose to do something which is particular to my setup and how I use things.
Generally, the cache disk can be anything. It very well can be memory, but if the system reboots, you lose data that was going to be uploaded.
I use my cache as a staging area for my upload so I use a dedicated 2TB SSD.
