![]() ![]() Point taken about the parity drive, and the plan is to upgrade it to a better quality 12-14TB drive soon so that I can start adding bigger drives to the array. So while unraid is a relatively high usage scenario compared to say having a drive as a usb external drive that occasionally gets used I think I am doing what I can to minimize the reading and writing. If the utility determines that the update should not. If the utility cannot automatically reboot your system, you must reboot the system yourself. Once the firmware update is complete, the utility will exit and reboot your system. I think once I have hit 4 parallel stream? And usually it’s only one person at a time. The firmware update utility loads the new firmware on your Seagate disk drive. I have a fair number of users but the server doesn’t get all that heavily used. Only thing on the array is the media files, and since I have a separate ssd cache drive for the initial download and serving, the array mostly only gets read when someone is watching an older file. I’m probably killing it, too, but since it doesn’t need to be big I can buy the nice Samsung pro models and it’s still cheap as hell. The Exos drives were actually cheaper $/TB too, as were the Toshiba N series than the WD Red Plus.Įverything docker related (including plex) is on one ssd. All the 3TB and 4TB drives are around 10 years old now, you can see how much slower they are. The 7k6000 drive is dark green and stops at 6TB. ![]() The Exos drives are at the top, and Toshiba N series drives are the ones that extend to 10TB. You can see the WD Red drives in the middle extending out to 12TB. Here's an idea of how drives have subtly improved in speed over the past 10 years: I should have read the specs more closely before buying the Red Plus drives, I realize they are more focused on lower power and silence, but I was just shocked to have a downgrade in performance compared with an 8 year old drive. If the Seagate patcher doesn’t work, make sure to use Legacy mode on SATA in the BIOS, instead of the more modern AHCI mode. My Exos drives maintain their speed way better than these WD Red Plus drives did, and have 40% faster peak speeds. Upgrading the Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 to firmware SD1A Posted on Jby yiming TL DR: If you’re applying firmware upgrade SD1A to Seagate drives, you need to double-check the firmware actually applied properly. The tech hasn’t change in 8 years to make them any faster. Those peak at 230MB/s and have a higher minimum speed than a WD Red Plus 12TB, which is absurd. Something at least on par with my 8 year old 6TB Ultrastar 7k6000 drives. ![]()
