@Lolight Yes, I know how unraid works... but since I already had the case and several SSDs, I tried it out, and seeing that it worked perfectly, I stuck with it. But I don't know how fast unraid loads on one of those USB drives you mentioned, but on the SSD it boots up in just a few seconds, and the updates are insane; you just click on the update and it's almost instantaneous.😄 But now with the x570+5950x, I'm transferring the license from the B450, and going from a 1600AF to a 5950x is spectacular; the difference is amazing, and it should last me for many years. 👌

Oh! I didn't know that. Well, I'll try it and see if it allows it. 🙂 Thank you very much. It was a test years ago, and seeing that it worked well, I left it as is. Besides, I thought it was a brilliant idea because the GUID that UnRAID used was the one on the enclosure, so I could swap the SSD for another one without any problems. Everything worked without swapping licenses. I even had UnRAID running for a while with an old 2.5" 500GB mechanical HDD in that same enclosure, and everything worked perfectly. 😀 And apart from that, it was super fast. UnRAID updates were instantaneous, and there were no issues with UnRAID saving the registry on the disk; it doesn't degrade like USB drives because it's a regular SSD that's used in any PC for operating systems. Cheers 🙂

Well, that's a shame... 🤨 I didn't want to use the TPM license, but when I updated unraid to the version that allowed internal booting, it wouldn't boot from that USB drive. This is because I use an SSD in a USB 3.0 enclosure as a flash drive, and the new version of unraid doesn't seem to like my SSD + USB enclosure setup after so many years of it working perfectly. Anyway, I have two PRO licenses, one of which is still linked to another USB drive. So, by restoring a backup from the current server to this USB drive and using the second license linked to it, I can continue working on the X570+5950x (I've tested it). But this shouldn't be the case. I don't know how long it takes to transfer the license to the new motherboard, but if I transfer all the drives to the new computer and only have one license, and it takes several days to transfer it, I'll have a problem at home. I'm going to contact support and have them remove the license from the B450 and transfer it to the new motherboard or another compatible USB drive, because I'm going to sell it. Thank you very much.

Hi, 🙂 I've been using an unRAID setup for many years on a Ryzen 1600AF, an MSI B450 motherboard, and 64GB of RAM. This server is my network hub and handles everything; it has a lot of things running and is becoming too small for me. But the license is tied to the motherboard. I bought an ASUS X570 and a 5950X so I can continue using my 64GB of RAM, and also because it has more PCIe lanes and, above all, because it's PCIe 4.0. Can I transfer my license to this new motherboard? Is it not possible according to what I've read? Thank you so much

My server is updated... it's working great! 👌

I had to transfer the license to TPM because 7.3.0 wouldn't load the GUI with the GUID of my USB enclosure containing a 120GB SSD... But once transferred to TPM, I reinstalled UNRAID 7.3.0 in the USB enclosure and it works perfectly now—well, it works with any USB drive I plug in... And if I remove the SSD from the enclosure and plug it into an internal SATA port, it also boots and works. 🤷‍♂️

UnRAID 7.3.0 doesn't like my "USB drive". I've been using a 2.5" USB enclosure and an SSD for years, 7.3.0 boots fine with the USB enclosure, but it doesn't load the GUI because it doesn't like the GUID of the USB enclosure... let's see if this happens to other people. (7.2.x does not have this problem with my 2.5" USB enclosure) I copied the contents of the case to a USB flash drive and it boots perfectly. I'll have to transfer the license to new USB if I want to use 7.3.x. 😒 Because honestly, I'm not very interested in using the internal method; I don't like using a partition in the cache, and if I switch the USB from the enclosure to a SATA port, then I'll be left without a SATA port that I can use in the array. EDIT: Once the license was transferred, I must say that version 7.3.0 of the moment works very well on my server: Regards 🙂

But if I can't access the GUI, I can't run diagnostics, right? I created a clean USB drive with 7.3.0 and it boots and reaches the GUI, but if I use my CONFIG folder, the GUI doesn't load. 7.2.6 works perfectly, so I have to go back because I need the server up and running. In version 7.3.0, everything is fine in the log, but there is no GUI.

I just updated my server from 7.2.6... it responds to ping but there's no GUI. 😅 And this computer doesn't have a GPU. I've installed a GPU, everything boots up fine, without errors, but there's no GUI I'm going back to 7.2.6

Well, it's been many years since I used a USB drive with unRAID... I had a 500GB 2.5" Seagate hard drive, one of those that came in a USB 3.0 enclosure... I took it apart, removed the mechanical hard drive, and replaced it with a 120GB SSD that I bought years ago on Amazon for €20... It's fantastic. It's been connected to a USB 3.0 port on the server for years, the updates are incredibly fast, everything works perfectly, and since it's an SSD, I can keep the unRAID registry on it if I want, which won't break down for many years despite the constant writes. But the best part is that I can have backups of unRAID on other drives because the GUID is stored in the USB enclosure. So I save a backup of unRAID, put it on any other SATA drive, turn off unRAID, and swap one drive for the other, and everything works the same. It's never failed me. But I've tested it, and unRAID boots on any drive I plug into that enclosure because... The USB case has the GUID. 👌

The same thing happens to me too. The text is barely visible. 😄

I restored a backup from the USB drive and tried again, and this time it worked fine. It's been working for a few hours now and hasn't given me any problems.

Today I tried updating to this RC version, and after restarting, my server appeared like this: It doesn't list a single one of the many disks it has 😅 After a second restart, it was fine... but it doesn't show that it's on RC1... it shows 7.2.0, and I didn't revert the version. And now, if I click "update OS," it always stays like this: I'm going to restore the USB backup 🤷

I updated from RC2 to 7.2.0 and everything is working fine. But the GUI is still slow... or is that normal? RyzenServer_Tools - Google Chrome 2025-10-31 15-19-02.mp4

Hello again...🙂 After 3 days of running my server with this rc2, the GUI has become slow... about 3 seconds or maybe a little more. I mean, I click and it takes 3 seconds, sometimes almost 5 seconds to respond... for example, if I'm in settings and I click to go to Docker, it takes a long time, about 3-5 seconds, to display the Dockers GUI. It's much slower than version 7.1.4. Regards
