I've been watching this thread for a while now waiting for a sign that the issues have been resolved. While I see a some people have come up with fixes for the problems they ran into, I must say I don't exactly get the "warm fuzzies" reading this thread. What is the status of the Crashplan docker, and how well does it work? From reading this thread, it looks like the primary alternatives to this Docker are: 1) running a Windows VM with the Crashplan client, or 2) waiting for some future plugin or core feature that includes Crashplan support by Lime Tech (is there any more information on that- I can't find references to it).

Is the plan still for unRAID to move this this new GUI? It doesn't look like there's been any activity over on github for a couple months. Is there a page that explains the benefits of the new GUI? Based on prostuff1's message, it sounds like it won't deal with the problem of the existing web admin page being pretty finicky about only handling one request at a time. Is it just prettier, or does it offer some other features? Also, is there a way to uninstall it? Do you just delete webGui-latest.plg?

I'm still looking for a decent, "safe" 2-port PCIe SATA controller. From what I understand, SIL3132 is potentially problematic. I can't tell from recent posts whether the RocketRAID 620 requires a special script or not. Rocket 620, at least, appears to require a script on unRAID 4.7 (which I'm still on), but I'm not sure whether that's required for more recent versions. I'll probably go to unRAID v5 relatively soon (as in, likely before I add drives), but I'm watching a couple of the new issues in the Issue List folder.

That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, though. I guess I can give it a try and see if performance is OK. Is there reason to think that it is more reliable than a sil3132 card?

It looks like PeterB had a problem too, based on this thread. Dealing with hardware compatibility/reliability issues like these is certainly one of my least favorite parts about unRAID.

Aren't you currently having problems with slow parity checks with your 620?

Are there any relatively safe choices for a (cheaper) 2-port PCIe controller card? The sil3132 cards seem to be the closest thing to recommended, but even those have had reports of silent drive corruption. I really don't need more than a couple ports, so I don't really feel like shelling out $110-$120 for a AOC-SASLP-MV8 card with a breakout cable.

If you have one nearby, Micro Center is a great brick and mortar store to get computer parts at. Their prices are often pretty close to online stores, though you will get hit with sales tax. But, I don't think I would order online from them. That's not really their main thing, and their customer support for online orders doesn't seem nearly as good as Newegg's.
