Hey community, looking for some insight. I have my server set-up with 2 HDDs, 2 more on the way, for the main array. And that is all that I will need for the time being I got 2 2TB Solidigm P44 Pro NVMes I'm going to use as a raid1 for my appdata/system/domains cache (prefer mode). I also have 2 1TB SSD I plan to use for the array cache (yes mode). However, I still have 2 available NVMe slots and 2 extra Sata connectors. One thing to consider is that the 2 remaining NVMe slots are one connected to the CPU and the other through the chipset, though both are PCIE 4.0 x4, but I'm not sure if setting them as a raid 1 will introduce issues because of the different latency they may have. So maybe I'm left with a Raid1 an 2 individual drives. Considering this is going to be exlusively a media streaming server, with plex, arr stack and the likes. Might throw in a nextcloud there also. I will at most have 2 VMs (1 windows, 1 linux) with light use. Is there anything else I could use those available slots for to further improve the experience? Or I should be good enough with what I have? While learning how to use cache I came accross suggestions of splitting docker and VM images in different cache pools or having a separate cache for the Plex db\library\thumbnails. Also read people putting their nextcloud files directly in a protected cache pool. I'm still doing my initial configs though, so it is not like I bottlenecked somewhere. I just wanted to see whats out there. Thnaks in advance

Hey, so I'm new, and this is my first install. Before fully using it I want to make shure my 12700K never enters turbo mode, can't do this in my BIOS, and while I'm at it, if I can make it go into a low power state while I'm at sleep better. I might as well even consider turning it off, I'll see. So I landed is this plug-in. After reading through it I came up with these settings: However I got 2 doubts: 1. This line in the tips section: If during my powersaving schedule I don't care about performance and all I'm looking for is power saving as I wont be using it, is it still ok to set it as I did? 2. From the Normal Governor tooltip Will this still comply with the Intel Turbo configuration I set? Like will that "full frequency" ignore my config and push it to turbo levels? Thanks in advance!
