  1. Forgot to update the solution which worked for me. Maybe it's of some help for others. I bought a JMicron Technology Corp. JMB58x AHCI SATA controller card and this solved all issues I had.
  2. Thanks to your input i finally got some results. I tested around 6-7 drives I had lying around and I always got errors. Unplugged one 4tb drive out of my qnap, and hooked it up and unraid booted happily. I am not sure what the reason is, but with this newer drive ( 2-3 years old ) there is no error. Will investigate further to find the root cause, but happy it starts working
  3. Thanks for the lead, will try with another one asap.
  4. Here's one where the Disk is recognized. tower-diagnostics-20220626-1130.zip
  5. Thanks, I will try some more disks, although the disks worked well when connected to the same controller in my windows pc. I just noticed the drive shows up when I fdisk -l and in the diagnostics, but not in unassigned devices. Seems there's some slight progress
  6. Hi, I just finished an Unraid build with the following hardware ( more in the diagnostics 😞 B-550i Ryzen 5600G 32GB DDR4 I added a 2 port PCI-E to SATA( 【PCI-E to SATA III Controller】Master chip ASM1061, supports IDE/AHCI mode. Support Sports Multiplier ) today to expand my 4 MOBO ports. When no drive connected it boots perfectly into unraid and that's when I downloaded the diagnostics file. When a HD is connected the boot takes super long and I get ata 7/8 sata link down error messages. ( those are the ones from the pcie card ). Update: using fdisk -l i can see the drive on my unraid command line, but it doesn't show up in unassigned devices When i insert the card with drives into my windows machine, it recognizes everything instantly. Does anyone have a clue to direct me the right way? Thanks a lot! tower-diagnostics-20220626-1037.zip
  7. Dears, After many VM trials using Unraid and TrueNas scale I am planning on building my unraid server next week. It will be based on a rog strix 550-i and thus Ryzen. Main use is file sharing ( replacing my slow qnap ) and around 20 dockers ( finally unplugging all those raspberry's ). Where I'm still unsure is the GPU APU question. Ideal plan would be building a headless system, saving power at the same time. But there might be the need coming up for a Windows VM running from time to time. In that case I would need a APU / GPU if understood correctly. The VM would only be remote accessed over lan, not over any physical hdmi ports. Could anyone lead me a bit further down the road regarding this ? I read quite a lot but I am still unsure about the best practice. In the worst case I simply leave the system headless and put the vm on my Windows Machine. Less beautiful solution, but would work. 1. Do I need a GPU / Apu in the unraid setup for linux VM's with Destop GUI? 2. Do I need a GPU / Apu for Windows VMs? 3. Does anyone have success using an Ryzen APU for that use case? Which one? Thanks for the help, looking forward to the unraid build this week!
