[QUOTE="altair21, post: 2467116, member: 102751"] Using external HDDs is your issue, aside from cooling issues, these are SMR drives, to say in roughly and largely incorrectly, SMR drives pack data more efficiently but in return for more storage and cheaper costs, random Read/write and even sustained read/write performance goes down and HDDs arent known for their IO anyways, what you need is a CMR drive which mostly comes in enterprise HDDs, something like a Seagate Exo will work perfectly for you if the number of torrents arent huge (torrents take up a lot of random IO plus ram which pi itself will choke on), otherwise I would recommend to do a raid setup for your storage and a mini pc build if you are a heavy user. because both your pi and the HDD itself arent built for this kind of usage [/QUOTE]
