JorgeB Posted July 9 Posted July 9 This is normal, I get around 160MB/s writing to my test server with 30 devices, it's much faster if I remove some devices, while keeping dual parity. Quote
johnsanc Posted September 7 Posted September 7 (edited) AMD user here. Looks like I should have searched harder before posting my thread about the same issue. I also am capped about nearly the same speed. Granted my hardware isn't as good as OP, but still I think there may be something in common here. Difference with mine is that i don't see a specific core maxed out at 100%, but I do see unraidd0 sitting at 95% cpu according to top. Is that normal? Edited September 7 by johnsanc Quote
mgutt Posted September 22 Posted September 22 I faced the same problem in my project: Now I like to know: As the performance is not good, it seems Unraid is not using the CPUs offload engine to accelerate XOR calculations. If this is the case: Why? I mean yes, HDDs were slower in the past than CPUs, but today it is easy to reach the limit with the right amount of HDDs. And what about a future proof setup for SSDs? And what about energy efficiency? An accelerated calculation is an easy task for the CPU which does not waste energy and keeps it cool.
