If I stop the array or start the array all discs are spinned up. As this produces a high load on the power supply I like to see that Unraid spins up every drive with a little delay. Of course my power supply is big enough, but I think there is more potential killing a power supply by those high peaks than through other operations. Yes, restarting the server still produces this load, but this is a hardware based problem and can not be avoided through Unraid.

 

Not relate your request, power usage overshoot could be understand, but it shouldn't affect the line voltage from 210 to 235.

What you want is staggered spin up, which has been covered officially before already.

 

Here you go:

I think the point is well made by you, but also by jonathanm. So whilst it would be nice to have, there is some difficulty involved which would probably put this on the farther end of the back burner. Hmm
