Oh no I am not asking anyone to buy it haha, I would gladly buy it if I knew I could figure the program out but I am using the free version and it's incredibly confusing to me. But if anyone would like to try, the free version is here: https://www.edbsearch.com/files/download.php

I'll do something if someone can help me figure it out though. Whether that be a donation or mailing you booze or something. I've been trying to figure it out for days. The website flat-out says it does it but I can't figure out the process, and their support contact form is no longer online.

edit: I think I finally figured it out. Will report back if it works.

Wouldn't a modern Intel CPU have decode and quicksync encode? I dunno of Plex can take advantage of Quicksync though.

The situation is the same with GPUs & CPUs: you have to check their feature sets to figure out what codecs they support for encoding and decoding. AVC has been supported for a long time, but you'll need a relatively recent CPU/GPU to get HEVC, VP8, and VP9 support. Decoding support generally comes earlier than encoding support is added for a given codec or feature.

I just bought a QNAP TVS-672XT (i3 quad core) with 6x4TB WD Reds for RAID5, and a 500GB Evo970 Pro SSD. At this point my intention is to use the NAS as a Plex media server, and migrate ~5TB of media from my legacy QNAP TS412. The SSD will be used for Plex information caching, like thumbnails and other metadata.

During the set up I have several options during provisioning of the storage pools. I can make static volumes (the entire storage pool is one volume), thick provisioning, and thin provisioning. As I understand it, the differences between thick and thin provisioning relate to how unallocated space is used, but essentially they let you specify multiple volumes in a single storage pool, and let there be unallocated space. I think of it like partitioning hard drives in Windows, similar to Partition Magic.

My legacy TS412 RAID5 doesn't have this feature, it's basically a single large static volume that I used Kodi to access. I would think for a Plex server using static volumes would be fine (and offers the best performance per QNAP's documentation), while thick/thin provisioning would let me get fancy with setting up separate volumes in case I want to play around with VMs, or make a dedicated volume for Windows back ups, etc. I could set up a volume for my media and keep a bunch of space unallocated for future use.

Anyone have experience or recommendations here? I want the best performance, but also don't want to shoot myself in the foot and lock me out of features I could potentially use in the future.

This is also making me wonder if I should not just make this a gaming PC at this point. It's a Windows 10 machine, with 20 hard drives (13 internal, 7 external), an admittedly old 930 i7 but it's overclocked to 4.1ghz and is about to get a decent video card and 16gb of RAM. Now if all this thing is doing all day is using Sonarr, qbittorrent, and most importantly Plex, is there any reason I can't also use it for games at the same time? The days of me being able to sit in front of a gaming PC are over, but I have NVidia Shield TVs all over the house and Limelight worked great when I tried it years ago. Or is this going to be too much stuff for the PC to do at once? I am not expecting to play AAA 2019 releases with graphics set to high, but streaming Dead Rising 2 to my living room would be pretty awesome.


If you're going to overclock it then you might as well game on it, since that's going to completely blow up your power consumption. If not, try going down to minimum multiplier and see what kind of voltage you can get it stable at. I have an i7-920 that ran great at something like 0.95V IIRC when I clocked it at 2Ghz, and that took power down substantially (~25-30W under load for the CPU alone) from stock settings.

If you are going to game on it, depending on whether the board will support it you might want to try a Westmere Xeon. Dirt cheap on eBay at this point, with 6 cores and 32nm for potentially Sandy Bridge-like overclocks. I use a Gigabyte EX58-DS4 which doesn't officially support Westmere, but it does work in the final BIOS update and I've been running an X5660 @ 4.56 (190x24) for several months now. 4.8 was superficially stable without HT, but used nearly 200W and caused frequent crashes to desktop in some games. It's fine for 1080p and light 4K stuff with a 1060.

That's a holy-moly expensive card.

I said, "best." It's single slot and a Quadro and doesn't require external power which makes it usable in a lot of COTS/retired rackmount server environs, as well as playing nice with pass thru for a lot of hypervisors which Nvidia tries to limit for the GTXs. I just happen to like it, additionally, cause I have access to them for testing purposes through work and have a lot of experience with them.

edit to say: We're buying them for, well, less than what I see as street in not-super-astronomical-volume, so I can see why you'd react that way looking at the Amazon price. If you're paying more than 350 USD you're paying *way* too much.

7 days left on the Unraid trial. My thoughts are that I like the software jbod and not really having to give a shit if a particular drive is full or close. I've not set up parity yet, had to spend my bonus on unexpected bills, but I can see the use for it for a typical home user.

Downside is that I'd rather it left Docker to be Docker. The UI is useful for restarting a container here and there but adding an arbitrary Docker container is kind of a hassle seeing as I have to map every port, label etc through the UI, screen by screen. Part of me is thinking that if I go really nuts on Docker and Kubernetes I'll head off to VM land anyway, which seems stable enough.

Doing everything as root, as appears to be the commonplace on the Unraid forums, makes me edgy. Also the lack of native support for SSH keys is bothersome, but can be summounted by scripting. Unraid's forums recommend VPNs take their place in that case.

I'm also finding some strange behaviour that I can't quite figure out via htop. The UI shows all 8 cores on my server get maxed, promptly leading everything to stop responding (unless I've got htop running, which tells me that everything is <10% utilization). Thing is I can't find the process or docker container responsible as a result. Unfortunately we're getting back to Computer Janitoring now which kind of defeats the point...

That said, I still do think Unraid has it right at the core and their work toward the niche market of home servers is well thought out. If I can get the above right I'll stick with it.

What actually transpires beneath the veil of an event horizon? Decent people shouldn't think too much about that.

Is it common for drives from the same batch to fail around the same time?

I bought a batch of five 4TB Seagate drives in late 2014 (so 4.5 years ago). I put 4 in a Qnap NAS in RAID 5, and kept one as a spare. One of them started throwing SMART errors a few months ago, so I replaced it with the spare. Another one started throwing SMART errors this week, but luckily I had a 4TB Seagate external drive that I wasn't using, so I shucked that and tossed it in the array.

Should I expect the remaining two drives from the original array to fail shortly?

If so, I think I'm done with RAID 5. I'll probably buy two of the 10TB shuckable WDs next time they're on sale, RAID 1, and be done with it.

In general if a component has genuinely worn out from use rather than a freak failure, then you'd expect other examples of the same model to wear out after a similar amount of use. There's nothing wrong with having used RAID5 in the first place; it just sounds like you've got some heavily used drives at the end of their lives.

Were these consumer or NAS/enterprise model drives? I'm guessing if they've been running 24/7 they have at least 35k hours of power-on time, if not 40k+, which you should certainly expect to wear them out, especially if they're consumer drives.

I'm not sure about Westmere working with that board, since there are only two BIOS revisions listed on the website and while the newer lists compatibility with 6-core Gulftown it is a bit older and explicitly a consumer chip. Mine at least listed compatibility with Nehalem Xeons and some low-end Westmere ones, which caused me to think "well, if it has microcode for some of the generation why not all?"

I think I pay around $0.11/kWh, and that conveniently works out to 1W costing about $1 a year. I feel like I saved somewhere around 15-20W on idle power underclocking my i7-920, so it's more like a buck or two per month if your electricity is as cheap as mine.

After that I tried a Xeon L5520 which starts at "60W" and undervolted it still further, but I was only able to get total system power consumption on X58 down to around 70W at idle. That included fans, a single HDD and a low-end graphics card since there's no IGP, but even counting all that out the CPU+chipset+DRAM still had to be around 40-45W. I've since moved to a Xeon X3340 in a Supermicro board with a low-end IGP and now I use about 50-55W with four HDDs instead of one, so platform power is probably around 15W. Something even newer like my Poweredge T20's E3-1225v3 would make even more of a difference but it's getting into diminishing returns at the point where the HDDs themselves are >2/3 of total power consumption.

It feels like your computer is stalling, not that something is actually taking up all 100% of your CPU's. There are a couple of reasons this could happen, either a bus is going to sleep, a cpu is scaling up/down poorly, or something is having genuine trouble. You can test this in a few ways. One, does leaving `htop` running constantly (I mean like install screen, `screen htop` then `^a ^d` out and just let it go forever) fix the issue? Go into your bios/efi settings, find all things that mention sleep, power savings, letting the OS manage ACPI states, that sort of thing, and set them all to "off" or "max performance" or "pray for your electric bill" and see if that helps.

Run `lsmod` do you see the cpu frequency scaling module in there? or `ps auxf` same question. I forget what they are exactly called.

If a bus is going to sleep, this could be like your PCI-Express subsystem attempting to turn off your disk controller, that sort of thing. It's finnicky to troubleshoot, more so in this weird environment, and over the internet. But dollars to donuts this isn't a cpu utilization issue like you're thinking of it. A load of "1.00" is just 1 process stuck waiting on I/O (such as from a disk) in an otherwise idle system, for example.

Hey thread. I've got a storage server built out of a Dell PE R515 that's been doing great for a couple years now with it's array of 8x 2tb drives. At this point though it's getting a little tight and I don't have the means to upgrade it's array yet. The server's 8 3.5" bays are occupied but I've been able to squeeze a few 2.5" drives in spaces in between parts of the chassis and risers. It kinda works but doesn't give much more space really and feels sketch-as-fuck.

Last few weeks I've upgraded a couple things in my server and my main PC (mainly a new Dell H700 controller for the server) and I've started to think about building some kind of home-built DAS to attach to the server. I've got enough parts to make a PC that has 10G fiber networking to my main server that will kinda work as a pseudo-DAS and I have also been looking around for info on SAS expanders and enclosures. Stuff like the Dell Compellent SC200 and Perc H800.

I just don't know if something like that'd be overkill for my setup or if actually using a SAS expander like the HP 487738-001 cards powered by an adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078N9JQP7 in a normal case would work well enough or if that'd even play well with a Dell SAS controller. Wondering if anyone else has tackled something like this.

HP N40L! Too small for your 8 drive requirement though.

I'd really like my next storage box to be solid state...is there something purpose built like the N40L that would fit the bill?

I certainly don't need the SSD for throughput, it's just that latency browsing around folders on my ZFS array is kinda annoying. Navigating to a folder that has hundreds of other folders in it has a very noticeable pause.

So now I have to file a PayPal dispute. And I still can't get my file list. I'm a good person, I don't understand the universe and its immense disdain for me

You care way too much about this file list for the amount of backups you held of it.

It's an 8 TB. I bought it like three months ago. I hadn't gotten around to setting up a RAID6 with it yet.
