Hmm, been sol long since I had set it up I dont remember, but that would make sense. Is UnRAID set by default not to spin all the time?

Ah, I should have said its slower at opening a movie to TV show than was my old FreeNAS box. When I open video files using VLC I have noticed that it takes 2 or 3 times longer to start playing the file.

I hope this is the right place for this question. I had an old FreeNAS server that was just used for serving movies and shows to Plex and VLC on Fire Sticks around the house. I built a new server and went with UnRAID. It also is just for Plex and VLC. However I notice that UnRAID is a good bit slower to load than my old FreeNAS box. Is there any settings that I can change? Also, I have UnRAIS Basic, does a cashe drive count against the number of supported drives?
