Unless you know your docker is installed on the cache dont assume it is, My discs are all on standby still and they work perfectly since I changed the location of the docker to appdata. Perfect perfect, I am too happy now that I finally got all the things worked out in my system, I cant complain about anything really. I've tried every OS there is and Unraid is the one for me. Its the only one that my 2.5 G motherboard is instantly compatible with regard to the ethernet port, I don't need an external ethernet card to connect it uses my original port so I just ordered a 2.5 switch and adapter for my laptop and i hope to achieve greater than 114 mbs transfers and I will update you all when I test the new hardware out. Whether it worked or not. I must say, size matters when it comes to system cpu and ram. you don't need two lan cables with a server, just one. my system is as follows: large PC case glass side panel with 3 200mm fans 2 front and 1 top and 1 140mm back. 8 quick snap 3.5 drive bays and can mount total 10 drives. This is my medium expensive brand new system starter kit, I will add more drives later and I might also swap return my cpu power supply for a 750 watt just because I feel 600 is low for the amout of fans I have and drives I plan on adding if they all apin up at once i dont want to be low on power, also I wish I had gotten 2X 2TB cache ssd to begin with instead of 1 TB X2. Its so easy to use 500 MB accumulated in minutes while transferring and downloading from two laptops at once. I might return those or exchange them.

New update - SOLUTION FOUND TO WHY IS UNRAID ALWAYS READING AND WRITING TO DISC 1, ALWAYS ON DISC 1. Changed alot of settings, spent many hours investigating and it turned out to be something really simple. Docker.img was located on disc 1 and the docker directory was all disc 1. All I had to do was "settings""docker" "disable" then I was able to change it to a new directory on the cash. I chose appdata and set my share to cache only and immediately after the disc1 stopped reading and writing all the time, I litterally jumped up and down for joy that I finally found a solution because Im a newbie to Unraid and I like it but I also don't want my discs spinning when I'm not acessing them because my server spends 90% of the day at idle not being used. 100% verified, non of my discs stay spinning all the time now they all sit in standby mode untill acessed. The DOCKER is on the cache now. Was very difficult for me to learn how this all works but now I am supper happy with my unraid system and I dont install shit to discs anymore, the default directories the programs give may not always be ideal for all of us.

Here is my system, just 4 discs right now, two 8 TB and 2 1TB NVME for raid 0 cache which i might upgrade later. it seems to be aparant that {I cannot spin all the drives down when I am not acessing them. One drive always stays spinning no matter what I try, to disable everything in dockers and alll the plug in. read SMART /dev/sdb occurs in the logs right after I spin down my discs, meaning disc one the only one that always spins. Disc 1 is always spun on and if i spin it down it spins back up again, disc 2 is always spun down. It annoyed me that disc 1 was always spun up even when i wasnt acessing it. SOLUTION:_____? or is it normal for one disc to always stay spun up even with every cache configuration taken into consideration, such as appdata set as only cache and all the system shares same, only cache nothing made any difference so I'm beginning to believe this is how its intended to run, not all the drives will spin down and one must stay spun up to run applications and the system. the rest stay spun down unless accessed. Im probably chasing my own tail trying to spin them all down, there is no set guidline I could find on how its supposed to be. I have nextcloud installed, jellyfin for my media and its set to scan new files manually. and I have binhex-krusader all running. if one disc wears out faster than the others then mabye the only solution is to have a parity drive for it. and the others don't worry about. Somone with more knowledge tell me, I'm still in my trial period and I spent two full days investigating and trying different settings to make the discs all go into standby after 15 min and it just doesn't seem possible.
