Ich kann dir leider mit DVB nicht helfen da ich das selbst nicht benutze/habe. Aber ich kann dir ein paar Sachen zu den anderen Punkten sagen. Teste immer auf der Hardware die du am Ende einsetzen willst. Sonst kannst du nicht voraus sehen wie Unraid läuft auf der Kiste. Von der Leistung/Funktion her kommt es darauf an was für ein i3 und i5. Je nach Generation wird unraid gut/schlecht/besser darauf laufen. Ich habe hier einen Celeron J4115 und der kommt auch mit Unraid klar, bei einem i3-4xxx wäre ich mir nicht mehr so sicher, nur so als Beispiel. Ich hatte hier einen PC mit (glaube ich) i3-6xxx herumstehen den ich auch vergessen konnte da damals die i3 alle kein VT-d/VT-x konnten und somit keine virtuelle Maschine mit GPU Passthrough möglich gewesen wäre, ich aber genau das brauche. Da Unraid nur vom USB Stick läuft, könntest du eine alte Platte nehmen, alle anderen Festplatten abstecken und die Testplatte als Array Platte nehmen. Damit kannst du jede Funktion testen. Denn sobald du eine Array Platte gemountet und formatiert hast, startet Docker und die VM´s. Nimma aber keine SSD, wobei zu Testzwecken sollte das für kurze Zeit auch reichen. Wenn du mit deinen Tests fertig bist kannst du die Platte/Usb-Stick wieder abstecken, die alten Platten wieder ranstecken und alles sollte wie vorher laufen. Die Trial Version ist wie eine zeitlich begrenzte PRO Lizenz. Somit stehen dir alle Türen offen. Bis auf die Anzahl der Datenträger die du verwalten kannst mit Unraid, wird bei jeglicher Kaufversion von Unraid NICHTS beschnitten.

Hello! I have an Unraid build already with an Unraid Pro License. Thats my main server: Intel i5-10400 32GB Ram Nvidia 1650 Super 1 TB Nvme Cache Drive 2x1TB Sata SSD as a second Pool (containing apps,vms,...everything that needs a redundancy) 84TB Raw Data Drives (6x10TB+2x12TB all WD Red) with single parity (atm) 1TB uassigned Device Sata SSD used as temp drive for torrent,nzb 120GB Sata SSD for a Windows 10 VM in Dual Boot configuration (ala Spaceinvader One Video style) with the GPU passthrough Now I bought a Odroid H2+ some time ago with an eMMC (128GB) and a WD SN550 500GB NVME SSD. At the moment this is more like a testbench than a productive Server. Thats why I am "only" using 2 old 2TB WD Green Sata Drives as my array. I tried unraid first with this baby but wanted to test out all solutions so I tried multiple variants. Tried ESXi. Did not work because the drivers for the Nic´s are not in the new version. And the only version that works is an old Version with the drivers integrated into the ISO. Tried Proxmox, same story. Tried Truenas, same story. So I got back to unraid. So most stuff works fine. I use the Spin Drives as an Array with parity. The WD SSD is my Cache drive. Now I want to elevate this second Device to a second unraid server. But there are 2 things that are bugging me. First: I cant use the eMMC in unraid. I dont want to use it in the array or Cache drive. What I want is a dual boot solution like I did with my main Server. For some reasons: -I can boot the Windows any time I want and run diagnostics on the hardware, baremetal -All my data and configurations I make in a passed through win 10 vm stays seperated on the eMMC -If all works, I dont have to sacrifice disk space to a second Windows 10 Installation on my cache drive I tried to passthrough the Intel SD Controller directly to the VM but it is not booting from it. Probably Seabios/ovmf cant see the emmc? I even tried installing Windows on the eMMC that way. No chance. If I create a VM and pass it through to windows afterwards I can see the eMMC perfectly fine! I can access it withing the windows VM. So it must be unraid/seabios´s fault. Second: I would like to passthrough the Intel iGPU. I know thats harder than the 1650 Super from my main setup. But maybe someone got all of it running already?! I tried to search this forum but all I found was either not related to my issue or was not solved.

Well I am also new to Unraid but I completed my first build some time ago and want to share some ideas: Test it out. Thats the first thing that comes to mind. You have to test if Unraid is recognizing all your hardware. I have a msi mag b460m mortar in my build and I can tell you what doesnt work. -I have no control over Fan Speed at all. I have to set everything in BIOS. -My 2.5Gb NIC didnt work at all with unraid 6.8.3. But works now with 6.9.0-rc2 -Some Power Saving stuff does not work. My SSD has gone to suspend mode and hasnt worked until I completly shutdown my server and started it again. -I have an Intel i5-10400 and I cannot use the onboard graphics because my Mainboard does not support running onboard graphics AND a dedicated GPU in Legacy Boot mode. And as soon as I try to switch to UEFI Mode Unraid just doesnt want to boot at all. So I can only use the 1650 Super I installed in my WinVM. I wanted to use the Integrated Graphics for a Grafana Monitor in my Server Room. I cant because of this. So get a USB stick. Flash unraid on it and try as much as you can before you decide to buy stuff for your build or you will maybe regret it. You will need 1 empty drives to start the array to play arround with everything. Because the array HAS to run to get Docker and VM Manager running. No Array, no playing arround. Just saying. To your hardware (from my limited experience): CPU: should be enough Motherboard: Should be good, you have to test it though RAM: Might be a bit short on it. I have 32GB installed and run 3-4 VM´s and maybe 10 Docker Containers. And I used up half of my RAM. But my Windows VM is occupying 8GB alone. So there is that. I would never ever again run Windows 10 with only 4GB Ram. 8GB seems to be the sweet spot. Unless you are using an unbloated reduced version and never surf with the biggest RAM eater on the planet. Google Chrome. You DONT need ECC Ram. But I advice you to run Memtest on the machine for atleast 24hours. I ran it for a week 24/7 just to be sure. You want to make sure your RAM is in the best condition it can be. Drives: Unraid does not support any Raids. Unless you use unassigned devices plugin and do it yourself. Which I advice you not to do unless you know what you are doing. The new unraid 6.9.0-rc2 has multiple cache pools and can run pools over multiple drives now. You should use that. The simple reason RAID 5 is bad is because its to fragile. A dirty reboot or a power outage and it has to rebuild. Rebuilding takes AGES and If that rebuild process fails ALL your data is F****D. With unraid if you have the case that 1 harddisk dies and you have no parity drive. Or 2 harddisks die with parity drive, you can simply take out the drives and "rescue" the files that are left. Not ideal, but its better than losing ALL. With 2 parity drives you can even lose 2 harddrives, replace them, rebuild and everything is fine. PowerSupply: You got the right idea. As good as possible because this Server might run 24/7 for quiet some time. I went with Seasonic Gold. Case: Nice Choice. I run my hardware in a Node 804. I had a massive heat problem at first. So keep that in mind. I solved it by populating every spot I had with Noctua fans and I even added a fan between my drives cages because my second drive cage was way hotter than the first. I also slapped heatsinks on every SSD and Part possible. At last I added an AIO Cooler for the CPU just to be sure. Now everything is running fine. Dont underestimate the heat this small cases generate. Everything will be cramped in there and you need good air cooling. I also run everything that cools on 100% 24/7. Just a short summary of my build: Case: Fractal Node 804 Mainboard: MSI MAG M460M MORTAR RAM: 2x16GB Crucial Ballistix 2666 MHz, DDR4 CPU: Intel i5-10400 GPU: Asus 1650 Super (Passthrough to my Win10 VM) Drives: 6x10TB WD Red+2x12TB WD Red (one Big Array with 72TB+Parity), 1TB WD Black SN270 as Cache Drive, 2x 1TB WD Sata SSD´s (second, slower Cache Pool for Appdata&Stuff), 1TB Sandisk Ultra (temp Folder for crap), 240GB Crucial SSD (Windows 10 VM exclusive, so I can have dual boot) Network: ASUS Asus XG-C100C 10GBE

I got an answer on reddit from someone who had this adapter. He tried it and it didnt work. I got 2 used ASUS XG-C100C 10GBe cards in the end. Which was a better deal anyway. If you have a very fast NVMe SSD as your Cache Drive you can saturate the SSD easily with this cards. As Lucanus pointed out the driver was the problem in the end. The only downside to the card is that one of my PCIe Slots is blocked by it now. Which is not a problem if you have enough. But I have a MicroATX Server Build in a Fractal Design Node 804 and Slots are rare.

Hello Folks, I have a NVME WDC Black SN720 1TB SSD as my cache drive in my Unraid Server. Today I wanted to copy something to a share and it said its copy protected. I investigated it and Cache was ofc set to yes. Than I saw the error message that the drive is missing. I tried to reboot the machine and now its completly gone. I can still see the device under Tools>System Devices (screenshot attached). I cannot see it at Unassigned Devices and cant select it in the cache pool selection. I tried adding the syslinux config "nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0" command. This didnt help. I tried going to Unraid 6.9 rc2 with hope it solves my problem. I would have loved to wait until it is final though. No dice. Is it gone or can I somehow get it to work again? I fairly new to Unraid so no idea what happend here. I cant assign it to my windows vm for testing because it wants to assign my RAID1 too. I cant do that because all my appdata is on that array. I added the last diagonistics prior going 6.9 rc2 (so its from version 6.8.3) AND the newest 6.9 rc2 diagnostics. Any ideas? EDIT: Solved. Please leave this here so others can find it. Problem occured somehow because the device has gone in suspend mode. I dont know where I can deactivate that behavior. Maybe someone knows? From the syslog: Dec 20 03:40:57 NerdCube kernel: nvme nvme0: Device not ready; aborting reset, CSTS=0x1 Dec 20 03:40:57 NerdCube kernel: nvme nvme0: Removing after probe failure status: -19 I googled that. Solution found after I read this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=258883 So the device stays in suspend mode, even if I reboot. Reboot is not enough. The Solution: You have to powercycle the Server. Dashboard>Power Symbol at top left>proceed shutdown. Start again. Done. Device is coming back online. nerdcube-diagnostics-20201220-0006.zip nerdcube-diagnostics-20201220-0101.zip

Hello, I am building my first ever Unraid Server and I am planning to use 2x QNAP QXG-5G1T-111C with Aquantia AQtion AQC111C Chipset. Because my budget is realy tight and I already got the RJ45 CAT6 cables routed through my apartment, I cant go SFP and/or 10GbE. 10GbE would double the cost and 200-240 bucks would be 1/3 of my budget. So before I sink 120bucks into this cards, can someone confirm that this cards work with Unraid? Are there drivers present for this cards? If not, is there a way I can get this drivers installed and work in Unraid? I plan to make a direct connection from my workstation to the Unraid Server because I cannot afford a 5GBE switch either and no other PC requires a 5GBE connection. I plan to use the Onboard 2.5GBit Nic of the new Server for the rest of the network. Though it will only work on 1GBit because again I cant afford switches faster than 1Gbit. As an alternative I can use the 2.5Gbit Nic of my workstation AND hopefully the 2.5Gbit Nic of the new Server as a direct connection. But than I need a working second add-in nic for the Server to connect to the rest of the network. Atlest 1GbE Nics are cheap.
