sekrit Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Can Unraid handle BOTH SATA and SAS drives or ONLY SATA? I cannot seem to find definitive answers on this matter. Edited May 13, 2020 by sekrit spelling error Quote
JorgeB Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Both, though SAS drives can't currently be spun down. 1 Quote
sekrit Posted May 13, 2020 Author Posted May 13, 2020 Interesting... So, if I will only use SSD's for SAS, can that still cause damage to the SSD's? Quote
JorgeB Posted May 13, 2020 Posted May 13, 2020 Not spining down won't cause any damage, on the contrary, most believe it's better for the devices to always be spun up, just not so good for noise/power. 2 Quote
sekrit Posted May 13, 2020 Author Posted May 13, 2020 You're the BEST!!! Last question... Any updates on ZFS potential for coming to Unraid in 2020? Quote

I'd heard those whispers. Ironically (while i'm stoked about the new pooling features), I look forward to it getting done. I am REALLY hoping that once they finish the storage pools, that they will focus on some Server to server communication/load balancing for iommu passthroughs etc. Essentially I want some clusters to balance entertainment, content productions, security across my LANS. 😄 Quote
DivideBy0 Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 What I noticed on the SAS drives is that they're running hotter than SATA. I guess the 72K RPM does that for you. You will need better airflow and ventilation if you go with SAS. Ask me how I know 1 Quote
