[COMBO] Intel S1200V3RP + E3-1225 v3 + 8GB DDR3 + CPU Cooler + IO Shield - $76.99 OBO + shipping

haha, well i had it set to run the parity check every week…i changed that two every other month. I wasn’t sure how often it needed to run. Also, I do have a cache drive, so i turned off WCE.
Thanks for the followup, i enjoy your website. It looks like you put a lot of effort and energy into it, you can tell.
I made the changes and will see how the unit performs. If I’m not happy I could always upgrade my pfsense box to use this board.

To recap the recommended unraid optimizations:

1 . Turn reconstruct writes [off] (md_write_method)

2. Turn WCE [on]

3. Schedule parity checks at maximum once per month, preferably 6 per year

4. Schedule mover once every day at 3:00 AM
