  1. Thank you for your assistance. I am using XBMC. No transcoding. Just playing the mkv file on the client and the file is on the server. The server and client are connected via power line adapters. New HD is on the way and will let you know if that fixes it.
  2. All the 2TB drives are internal SATA off the motherboard. I do have two of them connected via a PCI Express expansion card since the board could only handle 6 of the drives. I do have one external 4TB hard drive that is in the pool that is plugged in via USB. I am using XBMC/Kodi for media. Thumbnails are on the client PCs. I tested the hidden pool folder and played the file in VLC as you suggested and still had latency in playing video. A 20GB blu ray would have to buffer every 30 seconds to minute. The external HD I played video files off of that I mentioned in the OP is not in the pool but attached to the server via a USB. I played an uncompressed Blu Ray from it on one of the client PCs and had no issues. I have StableBit scanner installed on the server and the 500GB one is showing the reallocation I mentioned and a drive in the pool has 321262 load cycle count on a maximum of 300000. These are the only things coming up in Scanner. All else show healthy. I will replace the 500gb drive and see if that helps.
  3. I have a home servers with a 500 GB internal HD and eight 2TB drives pooled using StableBit DrivePool (Drivepool is running on the 500GB internal drive). On my 500 GB internal HD StableBit Scanner is showing 2415 reallocated sectors. SMART warning is coming up for this drive but the warning says it is not predicting imminent failure. Recently I have been having a lot of latency issues when playing movies off the pooled drives. This used to not be an issue and only was noticeable in the past couple months. Even smaller 720P TV shows are having latency issues. It is not just large BluyRay movies. The latency is much less if I run the same movie file off an external hard drive that is not in the pool. I am thinking the latency issue is the 500GB HD but wanted to check with community first before I start replacing parts. Thanks for your help.
