I threw my JMB585 in the trash and bought an asm1166. Got i/o errors etc on the jmb585, haven't had any problems with asm1166.

Doubt this is unraid related.. 1. do you connect via ip on your plex client to plex server? 2. Have you configured hairpin NAT on your router(needed if you do not connect via ip)

Can't help but... I have 2 MG09 and all I can say is that apm is broken on them. Guess you are lucky to get them to spindown at all Contacted Toshiba support but they had no idea how their apm levels was setup. Spent hours with mine just trying to get them to spindown. Had to write my own script which runs in cron to spin them down.

Which firmware should you actually run? Flashed my chinese x2 card with silverstone because it was totally broken on my intel 600 motherboard. Is there any better than the one silverstone provide? Cheers

Bought an ASM1166 card from amazon which should be gen3 x4. From what I can read it should asm1166 is x2 not x4... My problem is that the card brakes cpu package c-state and cpu can only reach c3 instead of c6-c7. Is this an issue with asm1166 or just my card? lpsci show that ASPM is enabled, so no idea why it block cpu states from going lower. I am guessing firmware/driver issue? 07:00.0 SATA controller: ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1166 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 01 [AHCI 1.0]) LnkCap: Port #0, Speed 8GT/s, Width x2, ASPM L0s L1, Exit Latency L0s <4us, L1 <64us LnkCtl: ASPM L1 Enabled; RCB 64 bytes, Disabled- CommClk+ EDIT: Switching to kernel 6.5.11-3(not unraid) seem to have solved the issue for me.

My board got io error after 3 disks had spun for 3 hours with io load. Maybe it got overheated, worked again after reboot. So my longterm test did not run long. Will have to put in a power hungry LSI card =( Got an 9217-8i and a 9300-8i will have to see which one is least power hungry.

Thanks for input. Also found out Synology uses the chip in their nas boxes so I guess it's battle tested.

Hello, I wonder if anyone has experience from jmb585 from long term usage? Are they still holding up ? Have purchased a jmb585 card but am still abit nervous starting using them from my experience with Marvell sata boards in the past. Marvell boards used to work fine in the start but after some time of usage started corrupt data. This is the one I got. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004358183286.html

I use Gigabyte MW34-SP0 workstation board. 8x sata ports ipmi 4 nvme slots ECC memory Intel core cpu, buy revision 1.1 for 13th gen support.

If you are going to use it for virtualization I would skip e-cores and go for i5-12500. I would skip K processor and DDR5. Have a look at Gigabyte MW34-SP0 motherboard, let's you use ECC with Intel core cpu. *If you are building some sort of gaming PC ignore my comments.

Hello, evaluating(haven't installed trial yet, just reading) if I should buy/try Unraid but wonder how the internals of spindown of disks work? Is it some job which runs i background which trigger spindown based on disk activity or something else?(Can't find any docs and no source to look at?) Have three Toshiba MG09 which have been problematic on debian/ubuntu to automatically spindown. Have had to write scripts to handle it. Basically my script have been looping to check if disk is in activate state and if so apply hdparm -S 240 /dev/..(disks do not seem to remember the -S option, don't know if disks are supposed to remember it). Wonder if implementation in Unraid is different.

Ah, ok I guess you are talking about what Unraid call "Hybrid". Don't see any benefits from that for my usecase. From reading some I guess I would add my hdd's to "main" pool. Need to reformat them with xfs. 1 partity and 2 data drives. Use my nvme disks as cachepool for my hdd's.(need to learn what the mover script do) my 4 ssd disk can probably be ZFS raidz-1 *Hope that unraid is able to spindown my Toshiba hdd's.

Sorry, Maybe wasn't clear. The reason I don't want ZFS for HDD disks are that I do not want all disks to spinup to access one file.

Today running snapraid/mergerfs and considering to move this to something "managed". Today my setup with snapraid/mergerfs/manual 3xhdd's (separate array) 4xssd's (separate array) 2xnvme disk (hot storage, raid1) The hdd's I want to be spundown and only want the disk which has the data to spinup.(Don't want to use zfs for example for the hdd's). What disk setup would you recommend in Unraid? My hdd's are Toshiba MG09 and I have had problems getting these disk to sleep automatically with hdparm(debian) so have had to write a script to put them to sleep. Unable to figure out what the problem is but I assume I can add cronjobs in unraid and hdparm is available? The hdd's have XFS, would it be possible to import them as is, I understand that Unraid use XFS for main array?(may need to buy another disk if I need to reformat them) Cheers

Which PSU would you recommend buying today(with a midrange price)? The 2021 rm550x is unobtainable, only rm750x seems to be available. Having a 141w system at full load, where CPU is drawing ~95w. Belive picopsu(160w) will not be able to handle this since it's speced for 96W for 12v.
