So for an unrelated reason i have upgraded my sever, so completely new Motherboard, CPU and RAM, i also took out the LSI card and annoyingly the issue is still occuring. Not to sure what the next steps should be?

I am in a very similar situation so keen to see what the experts think. The only other consideration I had as well was idle power, I'm assuming more cores = more power even at idle, but that is just a guess from my side

Unfortunately yes i tried both with a restart inbetween and still straght away. I have an LSI sata controller that i thought may be the issue, but i have one drive that is connected directly to the Motherboard and that has exactly the same issue

I have checked actives streams and files and nothing seems to be access, it also doesnt matter what scheduel i set the drives to spin down, 10 minutes of 3 hrs the drives immediately spin back up. i tried deleting any plugin i thought could be causing it but with no luck. Here is the diagostic files homeserver-diagnostics-20221217-0816.zip it also happens in the middle of the night when no other computers are on Thank you for the suggestions!

oh no, thats embarrissing. Thank you!

I end up with a command not found error. I am assuming i have stuffed something up!

Hey Everyone, I have recently been more engery concious and as such tried to scheduel everyting such that array disk spin. Unfortunately though within 60seconds the drives spin back up. I have tried turning all dockers and VM's off and still the issue is occuring. I have no actives streams, file activity comes up with nothing, and still the below happen Anyone have any next steps? Thanks!

Hi All! I am looking to build new server and hoping to get some feedback/recommendations from the group! I have been running an unraid server for about 3 years now and absolutely love it. The curent system is based arroud a Z97 board and i5-4590k and unfortunately it is starting to get a little tired, but also uses a lot of power at idle. So the theme is to build is power efficiency, but still capable of running the below items. I have read through the post here https://unraid.net/blog/energy-efficient-server and it was great, now i am keen to get some feedback on what i have put together. The major use for the server is - File back up/NAS - Plex Media Server - Next cloud - Windows VM non-gaming - Home Assistance Current Build list here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PbmmpH Key Items below and some reasons why CPU: Intel Core i5-12600 - Has the latest intel quick sync built-in graphics to be passed through to plex MoBo: Gigabyte Z690 UD DDR4 - seems to be a good option that doesn break the bank with plenty of PCI slots for expansion RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) Sata Expansion: lsi 9211-8i (already owned) GPU: Geforce GT 1030 (already owned) - Pass through to Windows VM Hard Drives Array: 2 x 8TB WD 5400 + 2 x 8TB WD 5400 (Already Owned) Cache: 2 x Samsung 870 Evo 2 TB - large Cache to hopefully allow for mover to run less and keep the drives spun down VM passthrough - Samsung 980 Pro 1TB I have heard a good idea could be to have a seperate SSD for the Plex app/meta data as well Keen for some feedback!
