  1. I did go nuts with bios settings trying to get this MB to boot from USB. Is there something BIOS related I should look for? Naslite was on another machine, but same disks.
  2. Tom, Thanks for the reply. It might be worth much effort on your part as this is only to test performance & functionaility. If this proves to be just a quirk with this old drive then so be it. I will be using new 500gb drive for this project. In any case here's the output of the command you mentioned. Does it confirm your suspicions?

  3. I'ld have to pop the cover and pull them to know for sure. Their W 30gb for parity and 20gb for data just to test out. Here's what the GUI show them as; Model/Serial No. Temperature Size Free Reads Writes Errors parity WDC WD300BB-00AUA1/WD-WMA6W1238303 * 29,316,640 - 2,234,937 2,238,511 0 disk1 WDC WD200BB-00CLB0/WD-WMAAR1325483 * 19,551,136 8,887,892 1,745,783 1,725,232 0 disk2 WDC WD200BB-00CFC0/WD-WMA9L1213864 * 19,551,136 5,479,884 1,600,727 513,279 0
  4. Nope not spun down. I had that disabled. Same drive uner Naslite2 showed temp data...
  5. Thanks Tom. Should I be getting smart data from the disks? My main page shows * for temperature.
  6. I am currently (as of today) using an Asus p4c800-E with the onboard IDE controller and onboard gigabit ethernet lan. This system was intended only test out unRaid basic to decide if I want to use unRaid it to expand my current 3ware 1 TB array, which services 4 TV's with SageTV, DVD's, Music, and some HDTV. This was my desktop machine which had two sata-II drive on the promise controller in a raid-0 config. I originally booted with my usb stick to see if it would at least boot before I attempted to do anything with the drives, and it did. It seemed to recognize my IDE and Sata controller when I looked at devices in the unRaid GUI so I decided to proceed. So I then disconnected the Sata drive so as not to "somehow" corrupt my desktop and installed three small IDE hard drives on the onboard controllers. Then it would not boot from the USB stick...I finally got it to boot after about 10 iterations of BIOS adjustments. So far so good. I just need to decide if I can live with the writing performance. So now if I want to build a new system which motherboard can I pickup at Newegg etc.. that will work...ie boot from USB. I want to use SATA II drives and am ok with buying adapter cards to achieve that if onboard controller are not supported. What is the motherboard and controllers used by Tom on the system he sells? I noticed it's out of stock. Is that due to hardware availability of tested components ?
  7. TCIII, That was a good idea, but I just tried it an no luck.
  8. Tools page??? I have just got the basic version up and running with three small drives to test this out...I do not have a tools page. Is there a difference in the management gui with the pay versions ? If so what specifically am I missing besides disks.
