Excellent mate, thanks for confirming! The 9305-24i it is then. Just need to find one at a reasonable price now. 😁 Its my first venture into the server case world and I couldn't be happier, my system is running cooler and everything "just works", should have done this sooner.

Many thanks for the advice, I will go and source one of those now. 👍

Many thanks for your advice, I'll give that link a look.👍

Hello all, Forgive me if I get any of the following terminology wrong, server racks and backplanes are all new to me. I have just bought the following server rack case; https://www.servercase.co.uk/shop/server-cases/rackmount/4u-chassis/4u-server-case-w-24x-35-hot-swappable-satasas-drive-bays-12gbs-hd-minisas-550mm-deep-sc-4324s/ It has a hot swap backplane, with space for 24 HDD's. These are spread over six levels, each with one SFF port. I have transferred my system from my old case to this new one, which includes a Gigabyte Z490 Vision G motherboard. I have purchased two "Mini SAS HD SFF-8643 to 4x SATA 7 Pin Data Raid Reverse" cables, and connected the top two HDD levels to my motherboard, utilising all six SATA ports on the motherboard. Please note, I currently have six HDD's spread over those two levels. Initially I thought six of the above cables, one per level, could be used to allow the connection of 24 HDD's to my motherboards six SATA ports, unfortunately I was wrong. Searching online (Unraid guides) it would appear that I need an SAS HBA card to allow my motherboard to utilise 24 HDD's. Apologies for the long back story, but my question is; is the 9305-24i card the best card for my needs and will it work with unRaid. Understandably, it is an expensive card, with reports of fakes doing the rounds, and so I want to check here prior to any purchase. If anyone has any better suggestions however, I am open to them. Many thanks.

Many thanks, I'll do just that. 👍

That sounds good enough for me, cheers. Haha true. At least it gives me something to get my teeth stuck in to.

Afternoon, I have my unRaid server running fine at home, however I want to add some dedicated security to it, looking around I noticed Pfsense. I've read the pros and cons for VM or hardware, and I want to go the hardware route. My two questions are; 1) Any recommendations for a Pfsense hardware unit, and 2) This Pfsense unit will be sat between unRaid and the rest of my home network, it won't be replacing my home router that manages the rest of the house, it will solely be for my server. Will this cause any issues? Many thanks.

Good morning, I have been using binhex-privoxyvpn without issue for some time now. My VPN provider has been via Mullvad Wireguard, however I want to move over to ProtonVPN. I have downloaded the Proton Wireguard config file and replaced the Mullvad one, and PrivoxyVPN starts up fine (screenshot below), however Sabnzbd reports my "Public IPv4 address" as "connection failed", but my downloads do eventually start. For reference, "curl ifconfig.io" under the PrivoxyVPN console returns my VPN IP, however trying the command under Sab's console returns; "Could not resolve host: ifconfig.io". No other settings have been changed. I'm sure I'm missing something simple. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I always upgrade to the latest unRaid build, but this plugin is my new favourite and I can't go back to not having it, so I've just done the same and rolled back to 6.12.0-rc5 👍

Your plugin is a godsend for me, especially as I'm now behind CGNAT. I hope LimeTech work with you to help with the situation. Keep up the great work!

Gents, thank you both kindly for your suggestions, however I have now decided to go the seperate PC route. Thanks again.

Hi, Thanks for the suggestion. Yes it's already set to performance, but thanks anyway.

Cheers mate, thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it, unfortunately this is my seventh VM instance and it hasn't improved. I think I'll just resign myself to building a seperate PC. Thanks for everyone's suggestions though.

Thanks for the suggestion, just updated the drivers now to the latest, they were on one below. I've also done as you said for the cores, albeit I had originally assigned the last ten cores to the VM but as that did not work I thought I'd try allowing all of them, I've now removed the first two as you suggested though. Unfortunately my original issues remain.

Hi, to be honest I originally assigned 16GB of ram to the VM, but had the same issues so then increased it to 32GB thinking that would help but unfortunately it didn't.
