Thank you so much, this was driving me mad. I would never have worked it out on my own.

Both machines are identical. Some removal of plugins and rebooting seems to have done the trick, thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the replies. So my plan should work then?

As a follow up question: is it a problem to have a BTRFS formatted drive in array with XFS drives?

I'm using one of my UnRAID servers as a file server. It stores a mixture of photos and documents. For the documents, I'd like to try to make the server as responsive as possible. I understand I could use an SSD cache drive to speed up the perceived write times but how can I speed up the read times? If I setup a second SSD as one of the array disks, and set the documents user share to only use this drive would this work? It's mainly the spin up times I am trying to avoid, so if the parity drive was still an HDD would this have to be spun up before the documents could be read from the SSD?

This sounds fantastic, thanks for all the hard work. Can I just clarify a few things though? At the moment I am running UnRAID 5 and have Plex installed on a non-array drive. If I upgrade to UnRAID 6 and install this new plugin it will allow me to: - retain all my Plex database and settings on my non-array drive - install the 64 bit build of PMS - keep PMS up to date from within the plugin including PlexPass versions Have I understood that correctly?

After over 100 hours I want to be sure this is ok.

Possible £78.96 after cashback. So cheap I just bought a second! http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/hp-proliant-microserver-turion-ii-neo-n54l-185-18-incl-delivery-pcworldbusiness-1653984
