Hello, I have been working with several members in the unraid forums using the V3 docker and there were several questions that came up, perhaps someone here can help us answer. Several folks running unraid have 10s maybe 100s of TBs to loan but the following answers will help us setup optimal param…

Yes you do get paid for partial transfers, but if the spin up time is the problem it’ll be cancelled before it even starts transferring in most cases.

Got it, thanks again all – I have disabled spin-down on the first drive – once the second drive begins receiving data I will disable spin down on it as well and so forth as the array fills up.

Is the JBOD array? or something else?

constant spin down is bad for the drive health anyway. I would advise against it.

Having used Unraid in the past, I would advise against using the Unraid cache for Storj data. I would recommend having a dedicated share for your node and set Cache=No in the share settings. Unraid’s cache and Mover system is likely okay for large files, the Mover run may choke on the sheer amount o…

[image] fmoledina: For others not familiar, the Unraid community is obsessed with drive spindown. Thanks for the info. Why though? There’s not a single advantage besides electricity costs.

I think it’s both electricity costs and noise. A lot of Unraid users are coming at the home server game by adding a bunch of drives to an old gaming PC, so it might be sitting in the computer room next to their new gaming PC (brushing the community with really broad strokes). I flirted with Unraid …

Right, I forgot about how I started… Used an odroid hc2 in my living room and also tried to have it spin down all the time so I don’t have to hear the HDD which was annoying. But as you said, for a media/backup server that’s fine because it would be hardly used anyway. Thanks for reminding me about…

Does egress time have any impact on reputation and future data ingress. If I have multiple dives should I try and prioritise the filling of the one that will respond faster?

[image] geeksheikh: Sounds like we need a bigger sales/marketing team :stuck_out_tongue: Perhaps this bull run will help tardigrade be more widely adopted This will attract more SNO as result, and greater traffic will be shared across greater number of nodes and we will end in the exact the s…
