Try this. Worked for me.

System specs: M/B: Asus Z170-A CPU: Intel Core i7 7700 Memory: 16 GiB DDR4 Storage: 5x HDD, 1xSSD (Cache) Expansions: Dell H310 Parity check: 78-82W All HDDs spun down: approx. 50W S3 sleep (roughly 67% of the time, but can often stretch to 2-3 days): 16W (not sure how accurate my power meter is for sleep. I think it should be less) Don't use any dockers or VMs which need to be on 24/7. Via WOL, server wakes up and is ready to stream in about 20 seconds or so, which is good enough for me (my old N54L, which does not support S3, was closer to 3 minutes). Due to frequent power outages I have battery backup for the house, so every watt saved helps to extend battery life. To save more power I really should shut down the server more often, but it would take longer to start up and the drives would spin up on every start up (they remain idle when server resumes from sleep). Using a NUC to evaluate Home Assistant. Would probably keep using that (or similar) for home automation. @Morrtin thanks for your nice format.

Many thanks. I will only be using HDDs on it, so I think I would put it into the 4x slot in case I decide to add a graphics card later.

One more question. I have 2 x PCI-E 16x ports, one of which runs at 4x, while the Dell H310 is 8x. Would I be OK using either port, or should I put it into the 16x one?

Thanks Decto. Sounds like the LSI card is the way to go if I want the most speed.

Thanks Hoopster. Helps a lot.

Hi all. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find an answer to this specific query. I've recently upgraded my server to the following: Processor: i3-7100 MB: Asus Q170M-C with 6 SATA ports RAM: 2x8GB HyperX Fury 3200MHz DDR4 Case: NZXT H440 (2015) Drives: 5 data drives (15TB with one parity), 1 SSD cache Power supply: be quiet! Pure Power 11 400W CM OS: unRAID 6.9.0-beta25 Primary use as a media server, no transcoding. Spends most of the day in S3 sleep. Potentialy use it to try some home automation software. I'm thinking about adding some more drives and I am trying to decide between the Ziyituod SATA 3.0 Card (https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07T8XNQT6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) (which I already own) and a Dell H310 LSI card from EBay. I understand that LSI cards can get quite hot. I'd be interested to hear your experience with temps on this card and your opinions on if I should plan for active cooling. Thanks. pulpfxn

They look fantastic! Thanks so much!

Mex, thanks so much for doing this for the community. Just upgraded from my Gen 7 Microserver (for which you did an awesome icon!) to an i3 build in an NZXT H440 case. Would it be possible to make an icon for it? Dug up an image from the user manual which I am using in the meantime. Clearly not up to Mex's standards.

Thanks! They look great!

HP Microserver Gen 7? I'm currently using the picture below taken from the user manual. Photo below is from a Polish website which seems to be down.

Installation went fine, but I have lost access to preclear. When I try to reinstall, I get the message unRAID version (6.8.1) not supported.
