    My cards came just now

     

    ASM1166 PCE6SAT-A02 (1x) Firmware 201105-001f-02

    ASM1166 PCE6SAT-A01 (4x) Firmware 221118-003E-00

    ASM1166 PCE6SAT-A01 (4x) Orig card was 200529-00D-02 flashed with Silverstone ECS06 Firmware

     

    We need to dump the November 2022 firmware

    oh btw 221118-003E-00 doesnt have the removable flag on the ports

    the other two firmwares do

    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

  2. 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])

    EDIT: Switching to kernel  6.5.11-3(not unraid) seem to have solved the issue for me.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

    And like mentioned they won't if assigned to the array, but you can use xfs, just making sure you understand zfs on the array is not a multidisk zfs pool.

     

    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.

    You don't need to, but using zfs for the array won't prevent disk spin down, they would be individual filesystems, not a zfs pool.

     

    You will need to re-format the disks, Unraid requires a specific partition layout and MBR signature.

    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.

  7. 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

    Not even close to the RMX550x (2021) as the real magic happens under 25W which is visible on the (very small) size of the bottom left spot.

     

    I tried the Supermicro PWS-341P-1H 340W Platinum as of my research it is the smallest platinum power supply available, but even this is extremely bad on low power:

    https://gutt.it/seasonic-titanium-netzteil-bei-niedriglast-keine-option/

     

    But it seems all recent Corsair Power Supplies have the same low power efficient feature:

    https://www.tweakpc.de/hardware/tests/netzteile/corsair_rmx_shift_rm750x_rm850x_rm1000x/s02.php

    Screenshot_20230605_200555.thumb.png.19cd6ff3eb60846d920a862b2bfaf0db.png

     

    But: They start at 750W. Which can't be as efficient as 550W (or even smaller ones). Sadly there is still no update regarding the SF-lineup. Having an SFX power supply with 450W and this efficiency would be a dream.

     

    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.

  9. Hello,

    have a chinese motherboard(Erying) with an i5-12500H intel mobile cpu. Intel X710-DA2 nic and a samsung 870 evo nvme installed. However package c state is always C0.

     

    I can't find any settings in BIOS for cpu c states and the only ASPM setting in bios I can find is for DMI.

    The core c states reach C6 but the package C state never go bellow C0. Forcing ASPM settings in Linux kernel does not do anything.

     

    It idles at 18W without nic and 25W with nic installed, nic will be active all the time so I guess not much power to save there?

     

    Currently have a Corsair CV450 PSU(white) which I want to replace since it's noisy, maybe I can save some power with a picopsu instead?

     

    Is there anything I can test or just hope that the chinese release a new BIOS for this motherboard?

    (have set powersave and run powertop --auto-tune)
