March 7, 201610 yr Hi All, I'm running unRAID on a Proliant Microserver. I've got 4GB of RAM in it currently, would I get more performance if I stuck 8GB in? The Hardware Requirements just lists it as minimum 1GB. I wouldn't be running any Docker applications, just accessing the files.Currently got a 120GB SSD Cache Drive, 2x3TB disks and a 4TB parity disk. Write/Read speed would be the primary concern. Many thanks!
March 7, 201610 yr Community Expert You could get bursts of write speed from more RAM since I/O will cache in RAM but they would only be bursts since the cached I/O would eventually have to be flushed to disk. If you often write small files a few at a time it might be noticeable.
March 7, 201610 yr Author Thank you for your response. That's not really going to be that useful for me as I'm predominantly transferring large files (6-8GB normally). As an aside, (I'll mark this as solved) I'm currently getting write speeds that settle to about 12MB/s across the network. Is that to be expected? It seems quite slow.

March 7, 201610 yr With an SSD Cache, you should be saturating your network. 12MB/s on gigabit is slow. Many people are seeing transfers to the cache disk (when SSD) of over 100 MB/s. If you have a 10/100 network, than 12MB/s is fantastic... ...
