  1. Hello when i click on the get trial key it takes me to the start trial window - but the start trial is not clickable, the eula/privacy policy are readable and i am on the net, as i can surf the web or click on the buy and it will take me to the buy section. But i would like a 30 day trial.

     

    is the get trial not working with the latest 6.8.0

     

     

  2. Hello running stable 6.6.6 PRO with a total of 21 disks.

    I recently added a bigger parity drive to my array and while running a parity check, i precleared the original parity drive. after the parity check was done i rebooted the server and wanted to add a new share to disk 20 , when i am in the add share screen i add the typical items , name etc and i wanted to designate the share to disk 20 under (included disks) when i drop down the included disks the menu only shows 16 disks, Disks 17-18-19-20 are part of the array. What am i missing or is this a bug in 6.6.6

  3. Since your cache drive is only 250g and your moving huge files, you would be better off to move your files direct to the 8TB actual drives.  The Cache will work with big files but it takes time and IMO is meant for lots of smaller files.....

     

    I Assume your transferring from a windows PC to your server Teracopy works good for transferring lots of files to cache or direct to other drives.

     

    hope this helps.

  4. Server stuck on Bzimage on startup - Have noticed this anomaly for awhile when rebooting after an OS upgrade, I cringe when rebooting as it takes 3 or more hard resets to finally get past this error. Sometimes the cursor dots will loading go half way or 3/4 then then it stops or freezes.

     

    Just upgraded the server tp 6.6.1 this morning and it took 5 resets before it got past the freezing at the Bzimage. I have noticed this with multiple versions of Unraid going back to the 5x.  Could it be my Kingston thumbdrive?  I have posted my diagnostics - please advise as this is pretty annoying.

     

    Thanks

  5. Guys I have 2 Supermicro SC846 SAS 2-  24 bay hot swap machines - I am currently running only one and the thought originally was too have a backup. for now the backup financially will have to wait. 

    I am wondering if i will have a noticeable performance upgrade for Plex and possible Vm's later -  for reading and writing to the Dual Xeon server setup?

    More Cores and Ram and a little bump in GHZ seems too me that its a No brainer:D  your thoughts?

    The Molex connector does not contain any 3V3 - only 5V (red) and 12V (yellow). So splitting from Molex to 2xSATA you will not get any 3V3 (orange) to the SATA plug.

    Confirmed both drives are DOA - will not show up in my server under assigned  - He did have another 10tb Gold with data on it and it reads just fine on my server and his new server with the Y-cable.  not sure where my friend got these (2)10tb drives but will have to get them replaced.

    I know about a 3.3v problem that affects 8TB WD drives particularly if they are on a Y adapter however if the drives are spinning up when connected to a SATA power connector, they should be fine.

     

    I saw that and that's why i tried the sata power y-adaptor off of molex, Going to install one of the drives in my unraid server and see if they are recognized.

    Are there any BIOS updates available for the board, that would be first place to check.

     

    I thought the same thing but leaving the MB out of the picture for a moment i tried a quick test with molex with a y adaptor  or the other sata power lag, i just plugged in power only and both drives dont spinup in hand where the 2tb will.  that eliminates the MB at the moment, and confirms the PS is supplying enough power for the old 2tb.

     

    Does WD have some sort of protection - if the sata side is unhooked they wont spin up?
