![]() If you go to your server page > Activity (heart beat icon top right) > Dashboard, could you tell us what the Dashboard says when playing something? Click on the card to expand it with more information. This is just a couple of ideas, a 500gb ssd isnt very much and can really help with file transfers. I've hurt an ssd doing this after a year or two (it wasn't a very good drive). The second is that transcoding causes a bunch of read and writes to either the cache drive or the spinning disks depending on the setup causing un-needed wear. This made a huge difference on my system and has a couple of benefits. The second thing you can do is to have plex transcode to RAM. This way you are not bottlenecked by the spinning disk. ![]() This will help improve the responsiveness from plex because it will have substantially quicker access to the databases/images. Something that may help and is defiantly worth trying is to add a cache drive if you dont already have one and lock your plex docker to use it. I have a 500gb Samsung SSD for my unraid machine with 24Tb of Storage and it has been more then adequate for plex, file transfers, a couple of minecraft servers, and home assistant running in a Vm. The cache drive can greatly benefit performance though just no in the way you are hoping. I doubt that the mechanical drives are your issue and adding the 2tb ssd wont fix the issue.
