Craig, I do not think so, I looked in the settings, could find nothing,
I am running unRAID Server Pro version: 5.0-beta9, which is an older version,

Not had time to do an update.

But take a look at unMenu, as it is also the unRaid package. More settings in unMenu.

If I find anything, will post it up.

Cheers

Thanks. Looks interesting, but I don't see anything about power management.

There is this one:

I installed unRAID free version on a test system with three drives / one parity. It is very easy to configure and does some very cute tricks like the directory grouping across discs. I also installed unMenu.

However, I am nervous about unRAID's inability to deal with data rot as I have had trouble with this in the past before implementing zfs. Also the lack of real time parity is a bummer. I don't know which way I will go with the next build. I read really quickly that there is a way to generate checksums and deal with data rot, but it's not built into unRAID and I think it's only with the command prompt. This is not so bad, but I don't think it can be automated like with zfs where I have it set to "scrub" my data to repair it every month.

...but man, unRAID is SUPER easy to setup and install.

I have plenty of time to read and learn as I won't be building the new hard drives up until around the turn of the year.

I did get my IBM ServeRAID M1015 and cross flashed it to an LSI9211-IT without bootrom. That was very easy in DOS and now I have a killer 2-port SAS card that can take 8 more drives. I'm running it on the NAS4Free system now just to make sure it's solid and so far it is very solid.
