unraid writes the data to 1 Disk (+parity) only, so you get at most the writespeed for the disk, for a sata drive at most 200MB/s…
I know a lot of people may not like this. I just end up using an older Mac Mini with a Thunderbolt 10gbe and a really good DAS. Probably the easiest server setup I ever setup. The thing I like the most I can disconnect the DAS if I have to and itโs just a computer still have access to my files.
I did run QNAP and I still run one at home but so far I like this setup. Just use a plain computer to run the file sharing and video distribution.
I know itโs not for everyone.
hmm, I wonder if it the hardware config that you have is the issue. The idea that unraid is truly hardware agnostic has always seemed to good to be true to me. With that being said I run a wonky of mix nvme/ssd/hdd drive setup on an old hp prebuit gaming tower, with a 2.5Gb dual intel nic and have had no issues with it. I can saturate the 2.5Gb connection from any device (mac, windows, or linux).
I wish you the best of luck with everything and I hope you can figure out the source of those issues. I'm sure folks have already suggested this, but have you tried using different RAM? Since unraid runs in ram I wonder if that might be the source of your issues if you are using some ECC or other non-standard ram. Cheers and best of luck!
Honestly, I really love truenas core. The only real feature I could like that is unraid exclusive is the mixed disk size. Everything else just seems to be better in truenas unless you need to squeeze out every spare drive you can get access to. Was running 24 3tb surplus drives in my NAS, and it just goes.
I was in a circle of hell with my logs getting spammed, filling up and weird shit happening. I got it sorted and learned a bit.
I scan YT every day for unraid related content. I really enjoy the OS. Thank you for posting.
So, this video is literally just a rant to clear my head, I'm not really looking for answers or suggestions because I imagine at this point, it's going to feel like a circle of hell revisiting things I've already been working on, and it would take way too much time and energy to fully, in detail recap every single thing that's been going on, hence I won't be posting it in any forums or subreddits, especially since there I'll probably just be told again that I'm doing something wrong lol.
The past month of trying to configure unraid to work the way I want, or hell, even properly has been a hellish purgatory of feeling like I'm about to crack the problem and have it all perfectly working, only to be met by some other quirk, or performance issue, or problem that breaks things, and I'm at the point of wanting to say "fuck unraid is garbage" and write it off entirely.
I see so many examples of it just working perfectly for others and not for me, I know that it can do most of what I want, so hopefully after I step back from it for a good week or two, and new transceivers arrive, I can hopefully, hopefully get things configured at working properly,
It does really seem at this point that unraid is really only good for archival stuff and not the kind of use I was hoping from it though, but that will also hopefully be addressed with a replacement transceiver and smb multichannel actually properly functioning which burnt up two weeks of trying to figure out.
It's going to be difficult as hell to turn switch off thinking about it and wanting to test or try different things, but man do I need a break from it.
