December 14, 201312 yr So, this is my first time using unRAID, and I have everything up and running. I am currently running the free unRAID, version 5.03, with 3 HDD (1 Parity, 2 Array Disks). I have also installed Plex and SAB, and both are set up and running properly as well. I have noticed though, since I have installed Plex, that one of my HDD does not spin down (Disk 1, which has the application, and app data installed on it. So I have a few questions... 1) Is the disk not spinning down a major concern? 2) Is there a way to make the Disk spin down? 3) If not, I have heard that I could install the apps on a cache drive, but I can't upgrade at the moment...is it possible to add a disk that unRAID can see, but not add to the array? Would this be a good alternative place to install the app data?
December 14, 201312 yr both plex and sab are keeping disk1 spun up if they are installed on it. to get around this setup a cache drive and install the apps there.
December 14, 201312 yr Ideally, upgrade to the paid version of unRAID to get cache drive support. There are lots of threads on how to use the cache drive for PLEX and SAB. Alternatively, this recent thread seems to setup a drive outside of unRAID which then can run PLEX (and I would assume SAB) http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=30496.0
