It is possible that the AMD Opteron X3216 APU is the bottleneck in your system when it comes to file read/write operations. However, it could also be due to other factors, such as the amount of RAM, the speed of the disks, or the network interface. Adding two more disks to the system may put additional strain on the CPU and exacerbate the performance issues. Adding a parity disk and cache disk may also worsen the situation. Before making any decisions about upgrading your hardware, I would suggest trying to identify the root cause of the performance issues. You may want to consider monitoring the system's CPU, memory, and disk usage during file read/write operations to see if any of these resources are being fully utilized. You may also want to check if there are any bottlenecks in the network. It's also worth considering if there are any software optimizations you can make to improve performance, such as changing the network protocol or tweaking Unraid settings. Ultimately, if you are using the storage in a production environment and reliability is critical, it may be worthwhile to invest in hardware that is more robust and better suited to your needs.

To change the label of a FAT-based partition/volume, you can use the "dosfslabel" command in Linux. To do this, follow these steps: Boot into a Linux environment, such as a live CD or USB drive. Connect the USB drive containing the FAT partition you want to change the label for. Run the following command to list the partitions on your system: Copy code sudo fdisk -l Identify the correct partition by checking the size, file system, and device name. Run the following command to change the label, replacing "LABELNAME" with the desired label name and "DEVICE" with the device name of the partition: Copy code sudo dosfslabel DEVICE LABELNAME Verify the label has been changed by running the following command: sudo dosfsck -n DEVICE Check the label of the partition: sudo blkid DEVICE Now that you have changed the label of the FAT partition, it should be recognized by unRAID during boot. Incase you have further questions on how to use Linux on a HPE Microserver Gen8 you can talk experts on HPE Community . They generaly respond with in a day or so.

I am not aware of any specific instructions for disabling RAID on a DL380 G9 server to use Unraid, but the process may be similar to other servers. You can try the following steps: Enter the server's BIOS by pressing F9 or F10 during startup. Locate the RAID configuration settings, which may be found under a menu such as "Advanced," "Storage," or "System Configuration." Disable the RAID configuration, which may be done by selecting "RAID Off" or a similar option. Save your changes and exit the BIOS. Please be aware that disabling RAID may erase all data on the drives, so it's important to backup your data before proceeding. As for the HPE support contract, HPE does offer support options for their hardware. You can contact HPE or a reseller for more information about obtaining a support contract for your server. Regarding purchasing the server off of amazon, if you did purchase it from a third party seller, it may not be covered under HPE warranty or support. You can try contacting HPE support to check if they can provide support for the server. Easiest way to reach an expert is to talk to some one on the HPE Community Responses are usually sent with in a Day or so.
