.) Also zu dem geannten Board finde ich nichts - lediglich ein ASRock H570m "Pro4"
.) Das BIOS sollte schon am neuesten Stand sein... ist es das?
Das Passiert, wenn die iGPU im BIOS deaktiviert wurde - hast du das geprüft?
50MB/sec is a little bit low, but it depends what the server is doing in the background during the parity check.
My Sys reaches normaly ~170MB/s but if someone is using Plex, the rate drops to ~145MB/s.
Maybe a bottleneck on the controller(s)?
There is a Docker application called "DiskSpeed" - install it and test your throughput of HDDs and Controllers 👍
For what is this mainboard?
And the price... what the hell... € 564.- 🤪
And there is no 10GB-Lan on it... well... Way too expensive in my opinion but ok...
I use ASRock boards since 2010 for all my PCs and other creations.
My unraid bord (B365M) is running since 14.12.2020 every day ~16 hours without any problems.
My oldest (still working) ASRock board is a B75 Pro3-M from Nov. 2013 with an i7-3770.
This machine runs every day for 8-9 hours without any problems too.
So i think, they are reliable 🤣
I also use MSI boards but not that long... so i cant say how good they are...
You can use a modern i3/i5/i7 (12th, 13th Gen) and use HW-transcoding from Plex (Plex Pass required).
There is no need for an extra Graphic - the iGPU can handle that.
My old i7-iGPU can transcode ~8 4K-to-1080p streams without problems (transcode to RAM)...
Delivering 4K-streams without transcoding needs no CPU-Power at all.
And yes, ECC RAM is not necessary
I am using an i7-9700 and the HW-transcoding performance (iGPU) under Plex is excellent - also for 4K 👍
Power consumption is not high (45W-70W)
See my signature for the whole setup
Thats an AMD-Board... and expensive too...
Is there a "special reason" to not use an Intel-Sys?
My "old" Sys is running since 2020 - without "any" problem 👍
The MB was cheap - only € 77.- 🤣
Not better, more like "different"...
A server must run 24/7, so the boards have a different desing/construction.
But you can also buy "military grade" Mainboards for "normal" computers... if you willing to pay 5x the price 🤣👍
Während des Bootvorgangs zieht eine HDD bis zu 25W - darum 👍
Meine WD-Purple's ziehen 1,8A beim booten auf der 12V-Schiene - macht 21,6W.
Die RED's benötigen 1,85A - macht dann 22,2W im Peak.
FYI: Chrome is doing the same...
If the Dashboard is open and a user is opening a new plex-stream - the old stream remains and a new one aproches. But maybe also a cache issue...
Yep i did this already and now its working again.
Regarding the old streams, it seems, its a Cache issue of FireFox.
When i do a reload of the page, the old streams are gone 👍
