#Softraid overhead cpu software#
Most onboard chipset based software soltuions can hande those with little issue. With the power of today’s processors, the CPU overhead is so low as to be unnoticeable.

I only have 1 cache and 1 data drive (system running on an HP290). SoftRAID is fully multicore aware and will take advantage of how ever many cores your machine has.

Ive tried turning off Docker, VMs, and its still hovering at 50. Ive attached a pic of terminal with htop running beside it as well as graphs from a direct play on Plex. Most folks on desktop are looking for basic RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 0+1 across 2-4 didsks. I constantly have 50 or more of my CPU being used and I have no idea whats causing it. Please keep in mind that we are here to help you build a computer, not to build it for you. For desktop use a hardware based solution is typically overkill.
