December 29, 20232 yr I'm trying to direct play a video, 4k HDR listed as a Bitrate of 65506 kbps, to Invision (a video player that runs on Apple TV). I'm also trying to move some files around with Unbalance. If Unbalance is running and Turbo Write is disabled (discovered enabling it fixes the problem) the movie pauses every minute or so for a few seconds to buffer. Can the software not handle the throughput? I'm running a 12th gen i7 Intel chip, 128GB DDR 5 RAM, 1 VM running Home Assistant and various docker containers for media viewing and acquisition (Plex and Arrs). Drives are all 7200 rpm red quality drives.
December 29, 20232 yr It likely is a drive read access speed issue. The drives are thrashing around, as unbalance is moving data (reading source drive, writing destination drive, writing parity, erasing removed data from source drive, writing parity, repeat) and also trying to read a large volume of data off the drive where your video file is at the same time.
