So anything else you do will result in one or more disks having to constantly seek between the parity read position and the read/write position of whatever you are doing. If your writes then also happens to be to the same disk(s) that Plex needs, then you suddenly have three concurrent jobs fighting for the attention of the same drive. Please head over to the feature requests subforum and wish for manual or automatic pause of parity checking when other tasks needs the disk capacity. Link to comment
