February 10, 20224 yr version 6.9.2 I run a plex and/or jelly fin server and host most of my media on my smr drive array. As I start to dabble into 4k movies and sizes approaching 50GB+ I think I am achieving a bottle neck with read speeds (server not 100% dedicated to plex). I can stream 1080p files sub 5GB without much issue. I was wondering if there is a docker or application that can take the requested video file and move it to an ssd cache drive while its being accessed for read and then deleted or returned to the array for storage?
February 10, 20224 yr Community Expert Read speed isn't affected by using SMR drives. You have another bottleneck you need to find and resolve File size has no real bearing, either. 4k tops out at like 80 or so Mbps, note the little 'b'. Much lower than even SMR drives are able to read. Edited February 10, 20224 yr by Michael_P
