Are there any simple case with 10 5.25 Bays top to bottom?

Must say i like my cheap little case, the MS-Tech CA-210 http://www.ms-tech.de/ger/index.php/product/detail/pdcid/65/pdid/273 I have put 3x 4in3 CM Modules into it giving me 12 drives, the drives are nice and cool and the system as a whole is nice and quite (lives in living room). I'm debating getting 3x 5in3 hot swap cages for it so i can go for 15 drives (got a pro license anyway) but no idea whats out there and need to know the sizes, mainly depth.

How about a view form the front?

I used the instructions listed in the post above and updated from p11 to p15 easily and with out problems. My card also came from ebay

Hi I pre cleared a couple of old drives I had laying around and was thinking of utilising one of them as a cache drive. The oldest is a Maxtor drive 250gb and the others an Samsung 500gb drive, ideally I was thinking about using the Samsung as it a little newer and bigger. Problem being when I did an initial smart report on the Samsung it showed 6 pending sectors but I pre cleared x3 in the hope that it clear the errors, it did. The Maxtor's results look like its mainly mechanical ware and tare but appear to function as it should even after a pre clear x3. Looking at the results attached was I right in saying the Samsung's OK to use now and was I right in thinking the Maxtor drive is nearly worn out? Are there any other issues or learning points I should be aware / concerned with on either drive? Still learning how to interpret these smart reports but getting there preclear_results__9QE0XT5H_2013-02-24.txt preclear_results_S0MUJ1GP711754_2013-02-24.txt

I suppose you could use the step again that copies the config to adaptors.txt Have did you updated to P15 yet, still trying to figure this stage out.

I'm not use how to proceed so I carried this on in my original thread to save filling this one up with sill nub questions http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25971.msg228356#msg228356

...should work...but some mobo BIOS allow to disable secondary BIOS Post. But for running it, the BIOS is not needed....no harm done if you leave it at standard settings, I'd say. That's good to know it shows the drives attached but when i press Ctrl + C It says something about initializing something then carries on. I don't get to see the screenshot on the first post to disable the "Boot Support"

Hi Looks like I was bidding against you for one of the cards lol as i got one of the 4 the seller was offering. I paid a little less though :-p Anyway I just recently flashed the card successfully using the instructions I obtain in this thread. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25971.msg226806#msg226806 Edit The only thing i cant figure out is how to get into the config utility the Ctrl-C dosent seem to work

Hi Can someone have a quick look at the results attached for my new 3TB WD WD30EZRX which is going to become my new Parity drive. The drives has actually had 5 pre-clear cycles but I accidentally stopped the first cycle of 3 on the second cycle ( Ctrl C by mistake instead of Ctrl D whilst in screen). Second time around it completed after 84:20:31 To me all looks fine but i would like a second opinion as still new to unraid. preclear_finish__WD-WMC1T2102007_2013-02-05.txt preclear_rpt__WD-WMC1T2102007_2013-02-05.txt preclear_start__WD-WMC1T2102007_2013-02-05.txt

Final result for above preclear_results_1TB_WD-WCAU44987157.txt

Hi Could some one have a look at my results and let me know if there anything i should worry about. I'm still learning loads and enjoying my unraid experience, upgraded to a plus licence now The 2x 1 TB are my oldest drives and the Samsung has come out of my current machine which I'm in the process in moving all the data from. preclear_results_2TB_WD-WMAZA9227899.txt preclear_results_2TB_WD-WMAZA8726413.txt preclear_results_2TB_SAMSUNG_HD204UI.txt preclear_results_1TB_WD-WCAV5D092592.txt
