I do not believe 802.ad will split up a single transfer over all links. If you start a second file transfer you should see near 2Gbit, assuming source and destination are capable of reading/writing at that speed, support of 802.ad on both ends plus the switch(s) between. Round-robin (balance-rr) will send the packets over all links in a round-robin format where you will see your 2Gbit speeds on a single transfer, however, out-of-order packets/flow control, etc. impacts SMB performance, while NFS w/TCP will see better results. Also not supported on Windows after 7, only on Windows Server flavors, and Linux.

Kaby Lake and newer CPUs only supported by Windows 10 per Microsoft announcement in April of 2017. Your last option for XP support would probably have been 1155 chipset which was Sandy/Ivy Bridge. Maybe some 1150 boards/CPUs. Can always get an add-on GPU that meets your needs and pass it through.

In my opinion, for your current build a 550 would be sweet spot. For your future build, if going with say i7-8700 and 1070ti and what you listed then your choice of 750 seems reasonable. Solid choice on the FSP. Adjust accordingly for what you expect to have for future CPU and GPU as those can vary the requirements the most.

EN/IEC61000-3-2 limits the amount of harmonic current allowed (reflected) back onto the mains (supplies greater than 75W). It has slowly been adopted worldwide and is good reason why active PFC has become more prevalent and more efficient and also why it has become cheaper because most do not use lossy large inductors and expensive high voltage capacitors to perform the task rather performed with specialized silicon controller ICs. PFC corrects the phase error caused by inductive loads where the current and voltage waveforms do not follow each other. The more phase error the lower the power factor and the more harmonics result on the neutral that are reflected back into the mains supply which can affect other equipment. Closer the PF is to 1 the less harmonics on the mains and the more sinusoidal the input remains.

I think the OP request to simply group containers by author would be as far as I personally would want to organize. The forum search function, at least for me, does not work very well and I end up having to search the forum from Google. Searching 'binhex plex' gets me exactly zero results, yet I can go to Google with those two words and find a link to the container thread as the first result.

Late getting back to this as I was traveling. To both Frank and pwm, the load on the supply is not the only determining factor and the power supply can draw significantly more current than just the load connected to it at times which is what causes the majority of the dropouts when switching to battery for certain active power factor correction power supplies and older UPS designs. Also, a larger capacity supply will have a much larger initial cold current draw than a smaller supply independent of load due to the increase capacitance on the output stages for the various rails which is part of power supply design to maintain output ripple within design standards. Higher quality designs may include inrush limiters, but most do not because of the cost. A large capacity supply with a very small load is very inefficient and will have current draws that do not follow the load and will be greater with a UPS that does not produce a clean sine wave with good crest factor capability. The APC paper is a guide, not Gospel, and is where I think things took a turn. The APC guide was simply meant as a means to steer the conversation and advice away from only factoring in the load on the supply and more toward the load on the supply and the supply itself. No supply is 100% efficient and all have power factor correction which corrects for current and voltage phase (lag) errors. addition...that said it comes down to what is the measured load and what is the PSU. One of the early posts was to measure watts which is always where you want to start. From that you factor in the PSU (efficiency, PFC type and any Google hits on UPS issues with it), how does the capacity compare to the measured load, how long you want the backup to last and how many and what type of other loads you want to place on it. Models from Cyperpower and Tripp Lite are also available that work with modern PFC supplies and offer true or 'pure' sine wave output. Avoid those that say 'PWM Sine Wave' or 'Stepped Approximation', etc.

For a constant load, yes, I would agree with that. unRAID is a different animal in that the load is usually not very constant for most. Depending on your power saving schemes such as CPU throttling, drives spin down timers, usage, etc. the load seen by the supply for your configuration could be less than 60W all the way up to 175W or more. Best thing to do is monitor/measure wattage under normal usage such as power up, idle, heavy load, etc. to figure out min and max. With that data focus on trying to size to stay near 20% minimum supply loading and also do not exceed single rail wattage with a reasonable buffer when all your drives being spin up with processor at full load (e.g. prime 95 and manual spin-up). The supply you have listed is more than enough for your application with plenty of room to spare for hardware upgrade. At idle your very close to the 10% loading which puts the efficiency at around 83% based on the graphic below. I would guess your normal loading would be in the low 20% range which puts the efficiency at 88-89%, assuming 115V. Not sure on the Seasonic marketing. Prime is their high end and Focus is on the low end, but even their low end is well above a lot of other brands. Review sites like Toms Hardware and Anandtech have reviews of their supplies where they may explain the marketing.

Selecting a UPS is not just adding up measured loads and picking something just above it. The power supply plays a major factor and the supply will draw more current than what is actually needed for the load at times due to power factor correction and for disturbances on the incoming power waveform. Initial server power-on from cold state is the hardest for the UPS and can cause some units to shutdown (or bypass depending on UPS topology) because of the large current load demanded from the power supply. The supply being fed nasty waveform full of harmonics from a non-sinusoidal UPS will also increase the current demand from the power supply placing more demand on the UPS while on battery during a power event which can cause some to simply drop out. Your situation is a little more difficult to select for because your 1000W power supply is about double what is needed for your current load. The power supply plays just as much a role in UPS selection as does the actual load as explained in the document I linked earlier. Your absolute requirements are a true sine wave UPS. With a UPS you have true or real power and apparent power. These are the Watts (W) and Volt Amps (VA), respectively, and are in the specifications for all UPS units. I suggest using the equation in the document linked earlier to calculate a suitable UPS then pick a brand you like that outputs a true sine wave and not stepped approximation. TL;DR, 80+ Titanium efficiency is 90-96%, 1000W / 0.9 = 1111W. Choose a UPS with 1111W minimum output, which would put you in the 1500-2000VA range. Increase the capacity accordingly if you plan to add other loads to it besides your server. Also look into the battery replacement costs before deciding on a specific model or capacity size. There is most likely a point or sweet spot where replacement batteries may be slightly cheaper for a larger unit or cheaper between UPS brands as they don't always use the same size/capacity batteries for given capacity. https://atbatt.com/ is a good place to look at replacement battery prices either for individual or in cartridge/package form for comparison. Typical battery life is no less than two years unless placed in a hot environment. More modern UPS units play better with PFC power supplies than older units, but is not an across the board assumption. Those that do you can get away with a smaller capacity than the calculation. Most will advertise this capability such as some specific models from Cyberpower. I believe these are the PFC Sinewave series. Edit: Noticed you have 80+ Platinum instead of Titanium. Based on your wattage measurements given earlier, you are at 7-14% loading of that 1000W supply for the majority of server operation and Platinum has no efficiency rating requirement at less than 20% for supplies less efficient than Titanium. You can assume a 90% efficiency or it can be 80%. Difficult situation. Stick with a true sine wave UPS that works with modern PFC power supplies and you can probably be safe going below the calculation for UPS sizing within reason.

Is there a trick to get the DVR commercial skip that is in Plex Pass work? I have it enabled under DVR settings, but I still get commercials.

Throwing out the idea of creating support subforums by author/creator under Docker Containers - Binhex, LinuxServer.io, etc. support so that it is better organized and can find specific docker by author. Perhaps have a minimum active container requirement to offer the option for the author. Just have the LT disclaimer about not affiliated with LT yadda yadda.

No problem.

Yeah, 450W would just be enough, 550W gives you some room and moves the draw back more into the peak of the efficiency curve. 650W would be less efficient than the 550W for this app, but is an option if you plan to upgrade and draw more in the future - like 125W CPU and five or so more spinner drives.

The Seasonic 550W would be my suggestion. Gold would be a more cost effective solution since your only looking at a few $ electricity cost difference per year and paying more for Titanium. Newegg has the Focus 550W (Gold) for $54.99 after rebate vs. $71 for the 550W Focus Plus. Both are excellent choices.

Between a gig client and 100 client the speed is reduced to 100 during the data/packet transfer. Gig to gig is for the most part unaffected same as 100 to 100. A gig server and a gig and 100 client transferring data to/from at same time will affect the gig somewhat due to flow control.

20 sounds good.

I don't disagree there, it is just a platform as I said. Take a step back - the enabling apps and the platform itself are on the same forum and integral to the official LimeTech user forum. Just an opinion based on the obvious given this thread's title, no need to start a holy war.

Not to put on the tin foil hat or anything, but a lot of unRAID is closed source and is obviously a platform to enable pirating of a multitude of things given the majority of the Dockers made available and advertised on this forum. Wouldn't be far fetched to think LT has or will be contacted at some point to embed code and the users not know about it. Just saying

umm

I'd suggesting going to the drive mfg user forum and ask the question there. Most spinner firmwares I have done have not resulted in data loss, but why risk it? Have backups just in case.

Top notch design and manufacturer. Google for reviews as they are numerous and look at the build quality, quality of their boards, quality of their component choices, etc. There used to be a list of 'who's who' in power supplies put out by Tom's Hardware some years ago, but not sure if it has been updated in a while. Some better models of other brands are made by Seasonic. There are other brands that are good, but few actually design and manufacture their own.
