Enable Reconstruct Write while array is running?

[Fifthy]

Hi Guys.

I recently started to move alot of data to and from my unraid array and noticed that the speed was rather slow, i then realized i'd never enabled the "reconstruct write" feature under "disk settings". Can i enable this feature while the array is running without any problems? I would prefer not to restart the server.

Yes. its often referred to as Turbo which there is a plugin for that will check how many drives are spinning and enable that mode and disable automatically.

Thanks! Then i'll go ahead and enable it  I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't cause any problems or screw with my system when enabling it "on the fly".

 

Is that plugin usable if my drives are up and running 24/7?

You can even enable it part way through a file copy, if you want to.
