I started with this guy's videos: https://m.youtube.com/@SpaceinvaderOne I don't think I could have gotten into Unraid without his videos.

The settings can be configured individually. Check there. Main > Disk ##

A riser cable and a SATA expander (I've read they are recommended against) might get you there.

Try adding parallel streams. iperf3 -c 192.168.10.1 -P 10

I think confused with the share mapping. If you have all disks allowed on both shares, then your data is not moving disks, just the map to access the data. Set your shares to access different disk(s) and try again. Ex: share1 for personal files mapped to drive1. Share2 mapped to all except drive1. Can either assign drives 2-# or use excluded disks on the share settings. Then move it all where it belongs and see if that does the truck. Hope it helps.

Look for Intel x540 online. Can easily find 2 port 10Gb < $30. Works like a champ.

I did not notice if you tried disabling all the power saving options in the lsi card. If you get to the point of going through the cost and trouble of replacing, highly recommend turning off those settings first; let unraid manage that. Done kicking that horse now. Best of luck.

Short answer -No, they do not match for me. Pulled this file for cache pool (attached) ... diskUUID="" Here's the scrub section: UUID: c5ef186b-86ad-43c8-a9f8-878617df410d no stats available Total to scrub: 90.33GiB Rate: 0.00B/s Error summary: no errors found main_cache.cfg

To answer what I can... Yes, I spin up my drives to access movies and tv shows. It takes a couple moments to go at first but then it's fine. When binging tv shows they roll from EP to EP without any pause as long as you have your 'split level' done right under the share setting.

That's a real head scratcher. The positive I've gotten from dealing with this is that I was forced to reassign nics via command line at one point so I could access it remotely via gui. I subsequently learned something... Lame.

It depends on the games. Some need more power than others. AMD so Epyc or Threadripper is my preference. Intel Xeon should work too. Just be sure you have enough pcie lanes available for your need. 3 gpu is already 48. Nvme expansion cards, whatever else you may add will take up more.

Go to settings and disable your docker and VMs. Then go into settings network and set that up either with static or DHCP addresses, gateway, DNS. If that is not where the problem resides, the pros will want to see your diagnostics so they can delve deeper.

I like using a single rail power supply. Think my Unraid is a beQuiet brand. Also partial to FSP but not sure they are even making anymore.

Hope you get it sorted out. Had symptoms just like that which turned out to be my Adaptec flavored card. Curious to know what it is once you isolate it.

Check your controller (HBA) settings and turn off all your disk power save options within that LSI controller. Let Unraid manage it. If you are running some RAID array on the controller, those drives will remain spun up as Unraid will not be able to control those drives within the controller's array individually. Hope this helps.
