Wonder if there's anyone else out there to comment on the Windows 7 experience...

Looks great! What are your HDDs average temps?

Stop being a beta male. 😉

It sounds like you have some abnormal bottle necking on your network that create throughput problems. The process of streaming UHD content without the on the fly trans-coding is not hardware intensive. The 4K HDR videos don't even saturate the 100Mbit network. Your hardware should easily handle those files while serving to 1Gbit trans coding devices, such as your Nvidia Shield.

Might that depend on how much of a "major" change? It's been mentioned that 6.10 will introduce "fundamental changes to certain default settings". That would be a major change, but it won't require nearly as much of development and testing, as say, an introduction of totaly new functionalities or features.

🥳 👍

According to the thread referenced above, the devs have progressed to Unraid 6.10 beta18 !! 👍

Any info on the release timeline of the next major update (6.10) ?

Unfortunately it's not as simple anymore. The above-mentioned "trusted" manufacturers are not manufacturing all of their models in house (and some don't make anything themselves at all). They outsource manufacturing of at least a portion of their products to third parties. Even Seasonic does that. As far as I know there's only a few of PSU brands that don't outsource - Super Flower (maker of EVGA) is being one of them. Super Flower was totally unknown in North America. Until very recently, they have been contracted by EVGA to supply PSU's for the N.A. market. They've been sold and marketed as EVGA units. Now that the deal is over, Super Flower has started to market PSU's under its own name. btw, even Super Flower's lowest product lines are super problematic. IMHO. if you're in the market for a new PSU, you should spend some time reading reviews on the hardware dedicated forums. This is a very dynamic market and even the most trustworthy brands can not be blindly trusted anymore. They're constantly adjusting their product lines and switching third party partners. Making it even worse, there are examples of the exact same PSU models that significantly vary in quality due to being sourced from different third-party manufacturers. That's when the reviews could be of a tremendous help. As a part of the reviewing process the PSU's are being taken apart and closely examined, including the inner components. Then tested. IMHO it's unwise to buy any model without checking those reviews first, regardless of the brand.
