February 19, 201511 yr Author Well i am running on brand new hardware, Asus B85M, G3230, 2x4TB Corsair, 4x2TB + 2x4TB HDD, Cache SSD. The PC (gbit port) & unraid server (gbit port) are both connected through a wired Gbit netgear router.
February 19, 201511 yr Well i am running on brand new hardware, Asus B85M, G3230, 2x4TB Corsair, 4x2TB + 2x4TB HDD, Cache SSD. The PC (gbit port) & unraid server (gbit port) are both connected through a wired Gbit netgear router. As I understand it that board only has 6 x SATA ports and you have 9 SATA devices in use. How are the additional ones being connected?
February 19, 201511 yr Author Actually the 1x4TB + 2x2Tb are not yet connected, i am waiting for the Supermicro SAS card that i ordered to arrive. Rest 6 devices are connected via mobo sata ports.

Not sure why you should be seeing any performance related issues then. I would expect that writing to the array would be around 30-40 MB/sec to shares not using the cache drive, and something like 80-100 MB/sec to shares using the cache drive. Also it should easily be possible to be writing to the array and reading back from it at the same time. I wonder if there is something up with the networking hardware?
February 19, 201511 yr Author I had a buffalo NAS configured to RAID0 and i used to easily get 80MB/sec+ (this was on the same network using same networking gear) Also do we need some special drives for the Samsung 256Gb SSD? i got one however it does not get detected by unRaid even in BIOS.
February 19, 201511 yr Parity protected array will typically get writes in the 30-40 MB range because it is actually reading the data drive and parity drive, then calculating the parity change, then writing the data drive and parity drive. If your BIOS isn't seeing a drive then unRAID won't either.
February 19, 201511 yr Author What could be the reason for being able to see the drive? No drivers?? Anything to fix this?
February 19, 201511 yr What could be the reason for being able to see the drive? No drivers?? Anything to fix this? You said the BIOS wasn't seeing the drive. If that is true then you have some other problem. Drivers will not be able to drive something that isn't there. Check the connections.
February 20, 201511 yr Author Seems i had a broken power cable, fixed and SSD is working fine. Thanks
