March 11, 20188 yr Hello everyone, I recently installed 2 10 GbE NICs and was wondering how to maximize the speed of my array? The cache drives work "fine", but naturally when I want to copy files which are only on one disk on the array, they max out at ~165MB/s. My steam library for example is to big for my cache, so I have to keep it on the array. (and I frequently copy games) I got 4 x 6 TB WD Red (5400rpm) and 2 x 2TB WD Red (5400rpm). 1 x 6 TB as Parity, the others as array disks (xfs). What would you recommend to maximize the speed of the array? Thank you very much in advance!

March 11, 20188 yr unRAID doesn't stripe array data, so speed can never be higher then a single disk.
