The command is not persistent, if you haven't put it in your Go file, then just reboot the server

what were you getting pre update?

not tried it, but will do, so just pull the ASM cards out and load up unraid ? how do i manually spin down drives as they will still be powered?

ok, so i removed the WD RED Nvme and still the same, only got to C6, so it must be the ASM1166 card thats in there or something else without the NVME i saved a total of 1W over having it in, so just going to put it back in, il leave for now, i think its the motherboard, just not good enough? I also tried lowering the Gen in bios on the PCIe 16x to Gen3 and it using it with a ASM1166 card and it wont let me get better than C3. Im now at 24W/25W at idle with Dockers on (but idle) in C6

An update, so I had 2x ASM1166 Sata cards fitted, one in the 4x slot and one in the 16x slot (where the GPU would normally go), i moved some drives around so i didnt need 1 card and removed it from the 16x slot rebooted and now i have C6 state in powertop, getting there! im now down to 24W/25W idle with dockers enabled. i now need to prove a theory that the nvme isnt causing issues either, will need to work out how to best do this. not sure i can achieve any better, i have 12 HDD and if they are 0.8W each when spun down, thats 9.6W right there, According to the internet, the WD Red NVMe does 9.24W average power and it being on all the time due to being where my app data is, bloody hell, i should of checked this before buying it! https://m.hexus.net/tech/reviews/storage/148435-wd-red-sn700-ssd-1tb/ will update when i do more tests.

My server runs i5-11500 and a ASRock H570 Steel Legend motherboard and Unraid 6.12.8 Its running 12x HDD, 1 WD RED nvme cache for appdata, and 2xSSD in RAID0 for downloads cache. I use 2x ASM1166 SATA cards as well as onboard SATA for the drives PSU is a brand new Corsair 650W (2021) Network card is an Intel i226 PCI 2.5Gbe 1 port. Onboard card is Realtek 2.5gbe but have disabled it and all other rubbish like RGB, audio etc all disabled. BIOS has all Power states options enabled and ASPM enabled (L0L1) When i run lspci -vv | awk '/ASPM/{print $0}' RS= | grep --color -P '(^[a-z0-9:.]+|ASPM )' everything is APSM enabled. Powertop autotune ran, kernel in powersave mode and intel turbo is off (using tips and tweaks plugin) No hdmi cable fitted and no unraid GUI left on in any browser. Unraid flash drive is running off an internal USB header Right now the server is running at 27W/28W at idle with all drives in standby apart from nvme which is always on due to dockers and powertop shows it's only in C3, ive yet to see it go to C6. Am i missing anything else? whats left to check? or can it just be the cpu/motherboard combo? or something else?

do you have a link to the I226-T1 ?

Great find, thanks for this, since my last post I did indeed purchase a brand new Corsair RM650x 2021 to replace my 10 year Super Flower 650w, I thought it was time for an upgrade, plus modular is most welcomed! The RM650x 2021 cost me £65 and currently number 16 on the spreadsheet, I did try to find a RM550x 2021 but impossible to find in the UK. comparing the 650x 2021 and 550x 2021, according to the chart: At 20W efficiency thats 1.41% difference At 40W efficiency thats 1.05% difference 1% in the real word being negligible? compared to the SuperFlower the RM650x has dropped idle power by around 5w so im happy with this. but also kind happy the old PSU kept being this good, even after 10 years, I thought it may started being inefficient by now! I am running 12 HDDs, 2 SSDs and 1 NVME I think the key thing here is to get the highest efficiency PSU you can at the lowest price.

Ordered 2x https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B097MQ6K31?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details for my unraid server to replace a Perc H310 connected to 8 drives.] cards were flashed using fw: 221118-0000-00 from https://winraid.level1techs.com/t/latest-firmware-update-for-asm1064-and-asm1166-fix-compatibility-issues-with-intel/98543, very easy in a windows machine. Working fine, swapped over and unraid just worked. 2 of these cards are about the same power as 1x PERC H310, plus now I have 4 extra sata ports for more drives. power top autotune working fine. just running a disk clear on a 12tb I just added to the array, getting 265.0 MB/sec. A good result.

I have just got an ASM1166 6 port card from Amazon and it has 211108-003E-00 firmware, does this fw still work or do I need to flash it to 221118-0000-00?

Looks like the much loved RM550X 2021 is now EoL and not readily available anymore how does the RM650X 2021 compare at low loads? Whats the next best available PSU after the RM550X 2021?

thanks, will have a think and decide which way to go with this, stick to H310 or mocw to sata pci.

hi all my goal is to replace a H310 flashed to IT mode to see if i can get the power consumption down on my server ive read and done the power top steps, does the tips and tricks tweaks yet my server will not go above C2. would a 10x port ASM1166 card like this https://www.amazon.co.uk/MZHOU-PCIE-SATA-Card-Ports/dp/B08L7W8QFT/ref=sr_1_3?crid=260P7Q805IW7N&keywords=ASM1166&qid=1706948796&s=electronics&sprefix=asm1166%2Celectronics%2C153&sr=1-3&th=1 use similair powerto the 6x port variant like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/MZHOU-PCIE-SATA-Card-Ports/dp/B08F56WKW7/ref=sr_1_3?crid=260P7Q805IW7N&keywords=ASM1166&qid=1706948796&s=electronics&sprefix=asm1166%2Celectronics%2C153&sr=1-3&th=1 or would 2x 6 port cards be better option?

thanks, will look at the cabling first. will report back, thanks again

Thanks, so red cross means it is not mounting? how will i know it is mounting?
