Really loving this plugin for my 6800 Pro. Thanks for adding the ability to exclude external drives. It makes Unraid now feel like a native OS. Whatever the default BIOS fan control was, it was never sufficient for my HDD temps under load which is no longer an issue. I have drive LEDs set to "breath" when in standby which is a nice touch. Great work!

Is there any way to exclude a drive from driving fan speed? It uses the highest drive temp for case fan speed but my highest temp drive is actually an external SSD so I don't need fans responding to that drive. Thanks.

Wow - thanks so much for this. I've been searching for a way to control fans for a while on my DXP6800 Pro as my HDDs run hot under most loads. There hasn't been any other good plugins until now.

Just FYI for those upgrading their USB flash drives I ran into 2 issues. Using a fresh boot backup directly from Unraid UI or Unraid Connect the USB creator kept naming the drive BOOT rather than UNRAID so it wouldn't boot. I didn't realize this for a bit and thought there was a problem but ultimately I manually changed the name to UNRAID. Second it seems since 7.3 Unraid wants to automatically tie license to the TPM if available even if booting from USB. When I booted with the new drive best I can tell it automatically switched to using TPM with no easy way to use USB again. I updated the license key on the USB and all good now. I guess this does make it easier to swap USB drives if ever needed as there is no license issue.

I ordered 2 of these drives on 10/20. Already delivered today, 10/22. Pretty quick from California to Ohio. I had one prior USB boot drive failure. I was using an industrial Kingston microSD in a Sandisk microSD-USB adapter. I think the USB adapter failed. My current drive is a Sandisk 32GB Ultra Fit but these Innodisk drives sounds like they may be more reliable. I was thinking about switching to internal boot but this remains simpler.

Ok I think I found the right ebay listing and bought 2 drives since they are so cheap. https://ebay.io/m/AbSXLa Yes I agree my issue was soley a USB drive failure. I figured internal boot from NVMe would be more reliable but agree USB is certainly simpler.

Thanks. I couldn’t find the eBay listing from the thread you linked. Is it gone?

Considering switching to internal boot. Currently booting from a USB stick. My Ugreen OS NVMe is disable in bios and I have two 1TB NVMe drives mirrored for cache plus 4 10TB HDDs for the array. I would rather not overwrite the original Ugreen OS or swap out the drive with a new one. From what I'm reading it looks like the best option is using a small partition of my cache drive for boot? I would first have to move everything to the array and then back again afterwards. I have no issues at the moment but did have a prior USB stick failure. So is this a good option for me? Anyone else do this on a Ugreen NAS? Thanks.

Hi. I'm new to Unraid which I have running on a Ugreen NAS. So far loving this OS. I recently setup a Pi-hole docker which is working well. I now want to setup a Wireguard VPN within the Unraid VPN management and running into some issues that are a little above my knowledge to solve even with multiple searches. My router (Deco Mesh) actually has Wireguard built in and that works fine to VPN into my local network from outside and have both internet and LAN access with Pi-hole as the DNS in my router. However if I'm on my work's public wifi it seems they must be blocking most ports. The VPN connects but I don't seem to get any access. So I decided to try the Wireguard built into Unraid which gives me some more flexibility to use a different external port that is unlikely blocked (443) and port forward to the Wireguard internal standard port (51820). This works except when my Pi-hole DNS is used I can't get internet access, just LAN access. If I change it to something like Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) it works fine which I can do but would be nice to utilize Pi-hole. There is a DNS option in Pi-hole to "permit all origins" some posts state should fix it but that doesn't solve it. What I can't figure out it why Wireguard works through the router using Pi-hole as the DNS in the router settings but not with the Unraid version of Wireguard. Not sure if this is a Pi-hole issue or something with Wireguard on Unraid. Also I am by no means particularly knowledgable with more advanced network configs or VPNs so it's possible a fix may go over my head. Thanks for any help.
