We should have an easy way to track Power On Hours/Years of RunTime from the Main display. This way you're more aware of how old each drive is in the array more or less at all times. So like the YEARS runtime right there on the Array/Pool Devices screen for each drive like you have for File System or Temp is all I mean. It would just be really cool to see years run time right there on each drive. 

 

That should be very easy, the data is there and the main display has plenty of space and I think it's such relevant info to the way ppl use Unraid that it makes sense to be integrated into the Main screen for all the devices. The main factor for lifespan for most storage is power on time, so it's just good info to know at a glance.  Personally, I mostly only use the Main display, so also the Health monitors would work better moved to the Main display also.

 

I might make sense to make the Main display a bit more customizable in the long run since it a lot of underused/spread out space. Things like health and Power On Years would be obviously useful, but there's probably room for more and you may as well have more stats on the Main screen or have something like the Array Widget that offers more stats at a glance. Array widget is nice, but it doesn't have terrabyte numbers and it's more compact and just not as useful as the Main screen. I'd rather have more data at glance than Dashboard widgets really. 

 

I guess the alternative is make the Dashboard widgets or whatever you call them a lot more customizable, but personally I'd rather just have that info on the main device screen because it seems integral to large array management. 

 

Thanks for listening!

Power on hours etc are read from the devices via smartctl. This would only work if the drives are spun up as the data is not currently stored within the system offline and updated.
