[*** GUIDE *** Using a physical disk in a VM, even when OS already installed]

Hi,

 

Thank you for that ! I Successfully add a physical drive but it seems not to be mounted in Windows environnement.

 

I see the drive in disk manager on windows and drive space on unraid VM manager but I can't acess folder in files inside (I don't see it in Windows)

There is files on it and I can't loose them

 

Thanks for the help

Supermicro has many 3U chassis.  Check out their 3U page to see the specs of their offerings.

They all seems way too long and they can't fit consumer PSU (server grade one are way too loud or maybe I'm wrong)

Are you going to keep your 3.5” drives inside the case while transporting?

Yes absolutely, so grommets on drives and carefull transportation needed

Hi,

I'm a professional filmmaker and I'm looking to build a NAS in a flight case for easy editing and reliable storage on remote locations.

Velcro SSDs behind the laptop screen is handy but such a mess afterwards.

 

So I'm planning using a Micro ATX ASRock Rack X570D4U-2L2T motherboard and 4x to 8x 3,5" HDD (14To)

I was considering the Corsair 380T, but It lacks spaces for 3,5" drives

 

 

Then I stumble upon DJ Rack Flight Case as of Thomann Rack Case 3U https://www.thomann.de/intl/thomann_rack_case_3u.htm and found it will match my needs

 

It is 420mm max deep so I'm looking for a short 3U case that can fit consumer components like SFX or ATX PSU, 120mm fans, up to 8x 3,5" drives and potentially 7 pcie bracket to put a vertical bracket for a GPU like Fractal Design Flex B-20.

 

I found RackPc Chassis D314 3u Short Rackmount Case USB3, but I wonder if there is other available options here as it lacks some extensions needed

 

 

Many thanks for your help !

Thank for the heads up

 

I forgot to mention I might be using Ryzen 7 5800X or 5600X, so maybe this will be better ?

Hi

 

I really consider this MB since it has all the feature we want for a NAS build, 10G ethernet, ECC, 8 sata ports, remote management and so on

 

Is there any alternative to consider ?

 

What memory speed are you using ? Since Ryzen love speed I consider using 4000mhz kits but it seems it can only does 3200 ...

 

cheers
