Hellomynameisleo Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 When I transfer files to unraid array it will only transfer this data to a single drive. Is there a way to improve speeds by making unraid do simultaneous transfers of the files to each drive in the array at the same time instead of just a single one? I'd imagine this would make unraid have ZFS like speeds whenever doing random i/o write operations Quote Link to comment

XiLENE1337 Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 What you in fact can do is enable turbo write (reconstruct write). You can read more about it here Quote Link to comment

This is indeed possible but I found out if I do it by share each disks then doin each transfer folder to each of the individual disk, it does work but is not really usable. I am using UNRAID shares as a whole but was wondering if a feature like this is hidden somewhere or as a plugin Quote Link to comment
