^ The server to my main pc on the SSD ^ The server to my main pc on the HDD * I saw a few dips on the HDD transfer. The SSD kept a steady flow of 100 MB/s. If I had a 10GbE SFP NIC to test with, I might have gotten higher~ish number with my SSD transfer test. ^This is on my server machine transferring from RAID 6 array to my SSD (HP M700). ^ Most of the movies are around 16 GB in size.

I like to live life to the edge.. yeah, I need a battery unit for my Raid Controller

When I was transfer files off my main computer to the server via ethernet cable, I was getting ~100 MB/s. HDD TO RAID 6. I will also test it the other way around as well. Is there any other test that I should do?

Thanks everyone, it's been very educational

What kind of case do you have?

They won't ship to Canada

"The MegaRAID® SAS 9266-8i 6Gb/s SATA and SAS RAID controller card"

Which SAS expander should I get

For Plex, Backup, and FTP Server Reasonable Would UnRaid cache be better then storage space SSD Tier

How many SSD should I get?

Going to Windows Server 2016

Do you how many SSDs that I can add to the array?

Is it free with the hardware or do I need to pay for it?

So I have the MegaRAID 9266-8i with 8 x 4TB WD Red drive in Raid 6. I am planning to get a SAS Expander to add more drives. I also want to speed up my raid array with an SSD cache, how would I accomplish this?
