I think this would be better:

dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sdX bs=1M
dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/null bs=1M

 

Has this already been implemented as a plugin?

I would say benefit of a plugin can be that it is easier to find out the correct drive and avoid a costly mistake by using the GUI.

I would add what exactly you do with your main computer, gaming? Competitive gaming? Video/photo editing? Ect.

90% webdevelopment and 10% a bit of Audio/video/photo editing. My main video editing machine is a different one.

Is there an easy onboarding solution to move a harddrive with Windows 10 or 11 to a VM? That would be a great feature for beginners.

[Using Unraid on Maincomputer instead of Server]

I think about using Unraid on my Maincomputer using https://de.msi.com/Motherboard/B450-A-PRO-MAX, AMD 3900x and 64Gb Ram and 4x 8TB 5400 WD Drives and 2x 1TB SSD and 1x 2TB NVMe.

- Can I still run Windows 11 from my 2TB NVMe?
- What is the performance loss when I run Windows 11 as a VM?

What I like a lot about unraid is that:
- I do not have to have another computer to maintain and pay electricity
- benefit from parity and having all drives there instead of a lot spread around the house
- silent drives when not in use
- maybe automate offloading from filmprojects when attaching ssds

But what I do not need is:
- other functions of unraid like plugins
- and additional VM

So maybe you suggest to forget this idea.
