Awesome thread, i have been looking at the recommended power supplies to get my next one but have a few options. I currently have 12 Green drives and 1 7200rpm drive, and am looking to expand (over time, years) up to 24 green drives. I looked at the power supply i currently have (was re-used) and baulked when i saw the 550W had two 12v lines (14A & 15A), so figured it best to run out and grab a new one. I have the following options: Corsair TX-650 V2 ($119) CoolerMaster GX 750W ($119) Given they're the same price, was wondering whether the 750W would be overkill for now and later and i should just go with 650w, or would it be better to keep that extra up my sleeve? Its going into a norco 4224, with amd cpu and m/b. Thanks

I am running cache_dirs, and while it runs fantastically (and quick) i seem to be experiencing an issue not explicitly covered in this forum. The very first time i need to copy a file onto unraid, it appears to max out the memory first (2GB), but when the memory is full the copy fails and says network is no longer available. unraid then slowly writes the 2GB to disk (if i refresh it i can see the file size increasing in unraid) until it hits 2GB, then it displays the full file size (say 10GB). once that whole process finishes, i can recopy that file (replacing the original) and everything works fine, including all subsequent file copies (regardless of size). Not sure if anyone has experienced this or knows a solution? It doesnt pose a real problem since after the initial problem i can still copy, but would rather not have to go through that process everytime i boot my server. Thanks
