Need advice for Optimizing My Home Server Setup for Lower Energy Consumption
Hi, thanks for your feedback! No, I don't actually need a GPU. I looked through the topic and I think what suits me best is a small server with an N100, for example: https://aoostar.com/products/aoostar-r1-2bay-nas-intel-n100-mini-pc-with-w11-pro-lpddr4-16gb-ram-512gb-ssd?variant=47203140632874

Need advice for Optimizing My Home Server Setup for Lower Energy Consumption
Hello, I would like to get your opinion and help to reduce my electricity consumption. My server has been running 24/7 for almost 3 years now, and sometimes I feel that the setup is a bit overkill for my usage: I’m running the following containers: - Plex (only used at home, almost never externally) - Arr suite … - Home Assistant … Components: - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 - GPU: RX580 - MOTHERBOARD: B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC (MS-7B85) - Storage: 2 hard drives 3.5" - NVME: random brand I would like to downsize it while keeping 2 SATA 3.5" slots and an SSD. Do you have any configuration advice that could help? Thank you in advance

Poor performance SMB copy
Hi @Frank1940 Thank you for your response. My MTU setting is at 1500. Yes, my Windows computer is on Wi-Fi; unfortunately, I currently don't have the possibility to connect it via an RJ45 cable. I just tried restarting my switch, and here's the result—it seems to be much better! Do you know why the switch causes this? Do you think switching to Ethernet will greatly improve the transfer rate?

Poor performance SMB copy
Hello, I am trying to transfer a folder available on an Unraid share to my Windows machine via SMB, but the transfer speed is around 3.81 MB/s. I don't understand why it's so slow... The share is cache only (SSD) and my Windows machine also uses an SSD. Attached diagnostics and iperf3 tests here. I can't figure out what's going wrong... Here is shares list and detail of share downloads Thank you in advance for your help. tower-diagnostics-20240720-1412.zip iperf3-tests.zip
