CA turbo write mode?
Help
Is this for parity drives? Does this speed up parity checks?

So basically I’m about to repopulate my server with media. Are you saying if I have SAB downloading as fast as the array can handle for probably the next 2-3weeks it would be good to use it?
that depends on how fast your internet connection is, you may be completely fine without it.
It's a 1Gb line. I can firmly download at 120MB/s but I find the array tends to cap around half that. I'm guessing has to do with extracting files, etc. I had all my SSD's in RAID 0 to give me the most head room but learned my lesson because then, like a fool, I had moved my appdata file to the SSDs as well. So now I have my SSDs in RAID 1c3 with Appdata on them and having all of my media content being downloaded and handled on the array.
Do you mess with any of the options or just put Auto Turbo Mode to "Yes"? What about polling times and other settings?
oh yeah with a 1Gb line you need to have turbo write enabled or download to an SSD.
personally i download and unpack everything on an SSD and only when everything is done i move it over to the array which has its own SSD and then the mover moves it to the actual array over night.
