I am a long time freenas user and recently decided to build an unraid server just to check it out. I really like the many features it provides. I have already begun to tinker with it a lot of its features and started building VMs. I also enabling CPU / GPU pass through and really enjoying all the available docker / plugins!
I have now started exploring more of the storage side of things. I have installed x4 8tb WD red drives (1 setup as the parity drive), x4 2tb HGST drives, and x1 Nvme 500GB cache drive.
I am trying to transfer my media over from my freenas and getting about 30-65mbs over the network. Because I am not using my cache drive I assume the slower speeds
I have read about reconstructive write and have downloaded "CA Auto Turbo Write Mode" plugin.
My array is showing its in Turbo (Reconstruct Write) mode as I am copying over some of my media. However I see no increase in performance, furthermore my array shows 5 drives spun down while its still reporting its in Turbo mode ( I thought all drives had to be spun up for turbo mode to work???). Can anyone clear my confusion is the tool reporting turbo mode incorrectly or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
