I remember reading somewhere it was not advised to copy data to the array while streaming.

I was wondering if this also applied if you were streaming  something from a different data disk than the one the files are copied to.

I assume it to be ok since the copy uses parity + data disk X and streaming data disk Y.

is my assumption correct or am i overlooking something?

You should be able to stream and write at the same time.  The copy process may just slow down a little bit but that should be able it.  I have copied full DVD rips to the server while streaming others.

I thought writing an reading to the same disk caused defragmentation. don't remember the exact source tho. not sure how severe.

Reading while writing will have no effect on fragmentation. Reading while writing is perfectly fine.

myth debunked then

 

 

cheers!
