ServerGuy 14 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I have a question about where to store my transcoding directory. My current setup is: PERC H710P Mini Raid Controller with 2 virtual disks RAID 1 of 2qty - 500GB SSDs - (OS/Emby Cache and server files) RAID 6 of 12qty - 4TB 7200RPM HDDs - (Media/NFO/Subtitles/Transcoding) Below are the HD Tune benchmark results against each virtual disk. (Because im running trial HD tune wont run write tests but running the Microsoft DiskSpd utility i get the following results) DiskSpd Write Results: RAID 1 - 437.70MiB/s - 7003.14 I/O per s RAID 6 - 101.33 MiB/s - 1621.21 I/O per s HD Tune Pro Read Results per virtual disk: Obviously the write performance is better on the RAID 1, but Im unsure if I would have any benefit to moving the transcoding directory onto the RAID 1, but figured I would ask your opinions Thanks for your time!

Luke 25323 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hi, transcoding is usually cpu limited, not disk limited, so generally it shouldn't matter. But I would try it out and see how it compares. Let us know. thanks ! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest asrequested Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 The only thing that really matters is that you have enough space for the temp files. Link to post Share on other sites
