This is what I have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181077904387?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 How do I find the find the firmware version? In bootup? I have a testing rig

Am I blind or something? I can't find any instructions. I have a OEM version of LSI 9220-8i, using LSI SAS2008

No worries

Nick - Is this still for sale?

Hi, Is the SuperMicro's AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 a good buy? Because the IBM cards are almost twice the price in the UK. Are there any disadvantages to the SuperMicro's AOC-SAS2LP-MV8?? Thank you

What about http://www.leaf-computer.de/#ec34pe

I've got Raid Controller LC3124i Rev 6.0 and need to upgrade to a 8 port but can't decide on Controller LCS3X8E Rev 2.0 or the IBM one. http://www.leaf-computer.de/#ec34pe

Hi, I desperately need a new SATA controller as my four port one has run out of ports. I have 6x 2TB drives at the moment and I want more room. What should I get?

no one?

I'm actually looking at cache drive setups at the moment. But I'm not a 100% sure of the correct use of a cache drive. My understanding it is used for apps (inc downloads). But for my setup I want to stream content to XBMC. Is a cache drive usable as a data store as well (e.g. covers etc) or do I need another drive? So one cache drive and one data drive for XBMC covers etc

To date, what is the fastest cache drive that works perfectly with unRAID? Both standard SATA II 2.5" and SSD drive.

Can anyone help with this; http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25290.msg219859#msg219859

Hi guys, I have installed a cache drive but how do I move the apps on to the cache drive? Or have I misunderstood how to use a cache drive. I thought you put the apps on their so when you download/transfer data across it go faster? Do the apps stay on the pen drive? Also I can't seem to transfer any files, unraid says there is no room on the share?

No that didn't help. Power on > loads past bios > displays details on hard drive > Boot error (black screen).

Hi all, I am a newbie so please be patient with me haha My NAS specs: Fractal Design Array R2 Intel D510MO / D510 Intel MN10 4Gb DDR2 800Mhz 6x2tb / 12tb HDD space in total (no cache drive yet). I am using a 4Gb SanDisk Cruzer USB. I've tried multiple times to get it to boot and nothing but this time I receive this error: Boot error. It doesn't seem to be able to load the software. Any advice? Thank you

Ok thanks guys. Just to clarify a 60gb SSD drive is fine for a cache drive ?

Hi all, I'm just setting up my USB drive for unRAID but I have a few questions before I jump on board. 1. If I opt for the free version to test (I have six drives) if I decide I like it enough to buy, does unRAID re-pool the other drives automatically or do I have to start again? 2. The cache drive, what minimum size would you advise? As I have a spare 60GB SSD laying on my desk doing nothing. Is this big enough? 3. Will this setup work? 12tb [6x 2tb] UnRAID NAS Box with add-ons Media Center running Ubuntu/Windows 7 + XBMC + add-ons I am thinking of using my spare 2x 60GB SSD's for the OS drives, apps etc (on both the NAS and Media Center) and then buying two 3tb hard drives for direct storage of my media content on the media center. Is that a good idea/decent setup? The goal is for the NAS to download the content and push it to the media center somehow? And then for the NAS to do a weekly incremental backup of the media center (and my PC) using rsync. Or am I over complicating things? Regards, Jon
