thanks, I just emailed them. 16 drives should last me for some time.
-
I have a Norco 4220 case, I don't need or have 20 drives right now but who knows what I will need down the road. How many drives would you say the Biostar can handle to run best? I will be using 2tb parity drive, and 3- 500gig to start out but plan on adding a couple 1.5 tb in the near future.
-
Can the BIOSTAR A760G M2+ support 20 drives?
-
Wow, just heard back from Norco, that was fast. Since very few customers use floppy drive now, we use a 2.5" OS drive bracket instead. This is the only change so far. We're going to change the 80mm x4 fan wall to 120mm x3 in Q2. Thanks
-
It is built very nice. I installed one drive and it slid right in.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I just received my Norco 4220 case from Newegg and it no longer has a place for a floppy drive on the right side. Not a big deal to me but thought I would let everyone know. I emailed them to see if there are any other changes, when I here back I will let you know.

I thought I was ready to order everything but now I am looking to the future. What mobo, cpu etc would you guys recommend, my case can support up to 20 drives (Norco 4220). Now I don't plan on having 20 drives anytime soon but I would like to have the option to add that many if I need to. I prefer, Asus and Supermicro but will consider all mobo's Would like to keep it round $500 or less. Will be used strickly for unRaid to store Music, Photos and Movies. Thanks

I just ordered my case, NORCO 4220 and I got a free 1TB Hitachi drive and free shipping from newegg. Not a big fan of Hitachi but this was a better deal than the 3216 I was looking at. Hope to order all the other parts in about two weeks.
-
If I get this case is there anything special I need to know beside needing reverse breakout cables? http://www.norcotek.com/item_detail.php?categoryid=1&modelno=RPC-3216

So it looks like I will be ordering everything in about a week. I currently have 2 500gig seagate drives and looking to buy 2 1.5tb drives. What do you guys recommend? Also the one 1.5tb drive would be a parity drive correct? Can you have more than one parity drive?
-
just curious, what case is on the main page, the picture says Blue Server.
-
oh, all new versions of unRAID free?
-
OK, no problem. You mentioned permissions and I was going to ask this later but I will ask now. I plan on using this to store movies, photos and music mainly. Can I set it up so only I can delete files and my wife will only have read access? I will by using XBMC or Plex along with iTunes. I'm not to worried about it if I can't but it would be a nice option.
-
Should I buy a second registration key? Don't know why I would really need one I have never had a flash drive go bad
-
The only reason I picked that PSU was for furture expansion but not sure when that might be. I will go with the 400 and not use a cache drive. I do want my data to be protected, I was going to buy a QNAP or a synology untill I found out about unRAID. Thanks for all the help.
-
Then is looks like I will go with this and this PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005 Last question for now. How hard/easy is it to set up unraid? Still not sure about the whole cache and parity drive thing yet?
-
So with the above recommendation I don't need a raid card, since the board supports 6 sata drive correct?
-
I know this is a little over kill but I have always had good experince with Supermicro, what do you think? I like ASUS, Supermicro and Gigabyte. I was looking for one that had on board video, 6 SATA and on board USB on the mobo so I could keep the flash drive inside the case. SUPERMICRO MBD-C2SBC-Q-O LGA 775 Intel Q35 ATX Intel Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813182151

thanks, I will start looking. Does anyone have a mobo, cpu (not a Celeron) disk controller or case you like/recommend? I always get my stuff from newegg so any links to them would be great.

Hi, I just found out about unRAID and I like what I see. I am looking to use this with a Mac Mini which I use as a HTPC to store DVD rips, photos and music. My question is if I build my own how much money can I save and how much RAM and CPU power do I need? I don't need to buy any drives yet since I have 3 that will work. I just plan on using it to store my media and using my Mac Mini with XBMC/PLEX to play the media. Also has anyone recently built one similar to what I need for under $500? Thanks
