Jorge is on target. Working as designed. The 1TB Blue 570 has a pretty small static cache, then performance drops off a cliff. https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/wd-blue-sn570-review/2. Your testing seems to concur with the testing from Tom's.

Sab wrench tests are meh. You arent going to get lab theoretical performance using sab wrench test behind an unraid docker. Try directly copying some files between your nvme drives using the unraid gui and observe performance. Don't use SMB as it adds overhead.

Boom. Working as designed. I set a trim to run weekly or monthly on my heavy hitter NVMEs. Set to run after mover has had time time to execute. Use the Scheduler app. My download nvme take the most abuse and files aren't actually deleted from the storage cells when mover runs. They are only marked for deletion. Trim forces those marked cells available again. If your nvme workload is more static, you can set it to run less often.

Have you run a trim on them lately?

Really excited to try this out. Been having problems with getting mover tuning to run 12.6 or 12.8. Only standard mover seems to be triggering when forced from a share. I will take some time to try the script for sure. Love the idea of moving some data from the performance tier to the capacity tier based on age. Brilliant.

Going down the rabbit hole today with a manufacturer recertified Seagate Exos X22 ST20000NM004E from serverpartdeals. Unraid 6.12.8. LSI 9211-8i running P20. Threw errors minutes after Parity build completed. Suspecting EPC / power controls etc. Appreciate the details shared by all in the thread. Update: Was not able to disable using the standard seachest utilities. Others have mentioned similar issues. Maybe removed ? Was however able to use OpenSeaChest utilities in Windows to disable EPC on this specific drive. https://github.com/Seagate/openSeaChest/releases . v23.12 on Win64. Pulled the drive out of unraid just to work on it standalone in a different system. Decided to try Windows 11 for fun. Not everybody is an expert Linux Sysadmin so here are some screenshots to try and disable EPC on Seagate EXOS in Windows 10/11. Download and unzip the contents of openSeaChest for windows. Move the unzipped file folder somewhere easy for you to manuever from command line. I moved my folder to the c:\ drive. I renamed the folder c:\openSeaChest. Open a windows command prompt terminal as admin and Change Directory to the file folder location of your openSeaChest executables. Inside you will find all of the application tools. C:\openSeaChest>dir Volume in drive C has no label.

Good luck.

Works great on 6.12.6. Thanks Dev.
