Does unraid benefit at all from ultra fast USB's? Right now it's on literally a random free 8GB USB I got from a loot crate a couple of years back. Would I benefit at all by migrating the data off of it until a USB that actually can achieve 200+Mbps read/write speeds?

Thanks! I'll give it a good read.

Couple of questions: 1.) I'm just curious but is it possible to set up the watch folder to convert all video files to HEVC H.265? 2.) Can you also set up the watch folder so that it simply maintains the original source video's resolution (I have some 720p, a lot of 1080p, and a decent 4k 2160p collection)? 3.) Are you able to drop multiple files at once into the watch folder and it'll simple start with the first then just work it's way down all the media 1 at a time until all are converted?

Sounds great... thanks!

Are there any good guides that someone wouldn't mind sharing with me on how to probably set up and configure your SSD cache drive for 6.5? I'm new and I assigned my SSD as a cache and I think it's operating correctly. But I want to make sure. Could use a good guide that shows me how to configure when it moves things from the cache to the HDD. How do I go about setting up if, for example, my cache drive is 250GB and I'm transferring over a lot of files, say 400GB... that once the SSD is full it'll just auto write to the drives correctly. Is there anything fancy I need to do to set up things like my Plex Server to use the cache drive for anything important, such as transcoding ( see people recommend using your SSD for transcoding, but I'm unsure how to set things like that up). Just need some good guides (anything with visuals is best, at least for me.)

Right now I'm running a trial version of unraid. I'm practicing setting it all up. Configuring it, testing it out with file transfers and automation's, etc. Really liking what I'm seeing so far. I have, what I'd consider to be a big boy server coming here soon. Right now, it's running off just a simple dual core i3 system. When my new system gets here, if I simply plug the USB into the new tower, using the exact same HDD and SSD (for caching), will it simply pick up where it left off... or will I have to run the install all over again, re-setup all of my dockers and settings, etc?

You sir, are a very helpful genius. It's always a super easy solution that drives you crazy for hours. Thank you!

So I could use some help. FYI, I'm super new to unraid. (IE I'm within my first 24 hours with unraid as of this post). Right now, I have the following dockers installed (please see below). I can make a request through Ombi (in this case I'm just testing it with last weeks airing of Gotham [ No spoilers, I haven't seen it yet ;)]). Ombi sends the request no problem to Sonarr, which in turn uses jackett to find my file, and then automatically starts the download in rutorrent (or is it rtorrent... I don't know what to call it). Now I created a user share called Torrents. Inside of it are the downloading and Completed folders. I set the /downloads container for rtorrents to this share. I also set it up to automatically move all completed downloads to the completed folder and it auto unpacks them. I've navigated to this folder and verified that it is successfully unpacking the media from it's rar format to (in this case) it's mkv format. Keeping it within it's individual folder that all the rar files are in within the completed folder. Problem is, Sonarr won't then automatically move it to my Plex Media Server TV Folder. It gives me the error you'll see in the second screen shot. I can scan and bulk import no problem from my plex media tv shows folders. I just can't get Sonarr for whatever reason to find and move over the freshly unpacked file. Advice?

I'm so mad (probably at myself, but I don't even know who or what I'm ad at), but I ended up just deleting the entire rutorrent docker all together. reinstalled it. Everything works flawlessly. Everything is connecting. It's working with a bridge connection instead of it's own IP. Thank you guys. With your help, and my navigating, it was a learning experience.

So when I change it to custom: br0 and set the ip to say 192.168.0.100 (because I don't have any subnets at the moment, everything is .0.x on my network, I can access the webui no problem. But then when I go to connect it to say Radarr or Sonarr, I get errors and am unable to connect those to the rutorrent. These are my settings. Also, I'm really storry if I'm being annoying. I'm slowly learning. And I am attempting to google search the best I can on all of this. This was so much easier on Windows haha. Also, note the first SS says ports 8003. I tried Sonarr and Radarr with that set to 8003 and 80 updating both Sonarr and Radarr to reflect which ever port I had rtorrent configured at. I never set up to user name and password for rutorrent. Could that be why it's not able to connect? Though I don't understand the host part for Radarr. Also, why is it deluge works as a bridge network type (as long as I don't use port 90), but rutorrent won't?

Ah, ok, see I saw the screen shots and was like I guess the unique u in utorrent translates to rutorrent for unraid purposes haha. I installed rutorrent, but that's it, and when I click on web ui from my dashboard, it just sends me to the tower/main. Even if I change the port to say like 93 instead of 80 (just a random port), I can't get to any web ui. But is that because I need to also install rtorrent with rutorrent before rutorrents web ui functionality will work?

So, let me start with this is my very first post on the forums. I'm am 100% brand new to unraid. Literally just popped my unraid cherry a couple of hours ago. I'm trying to copy my current plex set up on my main gaming pc to my new unraid box. My current setup is, I use Ombi + Radarr + Sonarr (W/ jackett) for all of my requests and auto show updates. They all use utorrent as my client. I have utorrent set up to automatically move completed files from my download folder to completed folder, and it is set up to automatically run winrar to extract any zipped files (that way Sonarr can move the files over to my Plex library). Now I have Plex set up on unraid, with it's correct folders, etc... that part was super easy. I installed this docker, but i'm now lost. Sorry if I'm asking what is probably super simple to figure out, but once again I'm new. WIth the rutorrent docker installed... how do I pull up the utorrent UI so I can configure it (IE set where to download files to, move them once complete, set up winrar to auto extract, etc..). I know utorrent offers a web ui feature, as I use it on my main windows pc, but I have no idea how to enable that so I can configure it to see the standard utorrent UI. Any good guides that really dumb it down for us newbs? Or just any advice at all? I am still learning. I'm not even sure if I should have my network type as bridge or host or what. All I know is unraid uses port 80 so I had to change that to some random port. Outside of that, I don't know what I'm doing. Thanks for any (future) help. I do appreciate it.
