Move PCI-E HDDs to Mobo Sata3 for Performance? (alien.top)
 

Hey,

I have a PCI-e x4 to 8 SATA connector to connect 8 HDD over the PCI-E 3.0 x4 interface. I have 3x Sata3 ports open on my mobo and I’m wondering if I should take 3 of the drives and move them over to the mobo for performance. If I understand correctly the sata3 interfaces have a 6Gbps connector on individual backbones, and the pci card has 4Gbps shared between the 8 drives, 4 lanes of 1Gbps each. Wouldn’t it make sense to move 3 of the drives to the mobo for a small performance gain?

I can’t figure out the columns and allocation with refs the write is always fast then 0 then fast then 0

ReFS, 6 Disks, Raid5, Windows Storage Spaces - How do I get the performance? (alien.top)
 

Hey,

Thinking of moving to Windows and ReFS from Arch/ZFS but last time I used Windows Storage Spaces on Win10 the write performance would be fast for a few seconds then drop to 0, then fast and drop to 0. I’ve read online about columns and interleave alignment and disabling cache, but I was wondering if someone could help me out on how to set it up for fast writes preferably Raid5 on 6 Disks.

Thanks,

Jake

Problem is my user base are TV and mostly non technical people. No way they setup and maintain a JellyFin install. That’s why Plex just wins.
