    Yep - i had a large binary number in it... gone... not nice 👎

    If its a AQC107, it works fine 👍 And i would prefer the TP-Link TL-SX100 Desktop 10G Switch with 5x RJ-45 10GBit. https://skinflint.co.uk/tp-link-tl-sx100-desktop-10g-switch-tl-sx105-a2519258.html

    Is there a "special reason", why you like to use this old Ryzen 1600?
  4. Zonediver
    Its possible with an open x1 slot (like on my ASRock board) because the cards have all PCIe 3.0 x4 interfaces - but with speed reduction. See this link for the speeds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express You can see that a PCIe 3.0 x1 can handle 985MB/s - not really less compared with max. 1250MB/s a 10GBit-NIC can handle. When i move data to my server over the Asus 10GBit NIC, i reach between 950MB/s and 1100MB/s.

    4 sticks... but "not" 8... Thats the point...

    Dont do that - @ 3200, most RAMs are overclocked and this must be avoided - use 2666 instead if stable... And read the manual first! See what it says about full populated RAM-Slots!

    ...unraid 6.10? ...soon... ...i see...
  8. Zonediver
    Avoid Crucial SSDs - some of them have problems with Linux - use the Samsung. And take a proper size - min. 500GB or bigger. I am using Samsung SSDs since a long time and never had problems with - see my Signature.
  9. Zonediver
    Nice Graphs - what exactly is this or how do you measure these values?
  10. Zonediver
    I tested my HBA on various ASRock-Boards and they worked all well - but its an original LSI-Controller... So (maybe) try this brand and Boards... But... it might be tricky to find (a working) one for this old CPU...

    ...using unraid since 2010 without ECC-RAM and never had problems... So for me, it's useless... but it comes "for all" with DDR5 👍
  12. Zonediver
    500GB min. See my Signature - using a SSD 970 Pro with 512GB. And avoid Kingston SSDs - some of them have problems with Linux (the A2000 for example).

    A Cache-SSD is "mandatory" in my opinion. .) It holds all Dockers .) It caches Plex-trancoded data (if not transcoded to RAM) .) It holds all stuff what you move from your PC to unraid, and then the Mover can move it to the array - so it "speeds up" your File-Transfer. So its one of the most important drives for unraid.
  14. Zonediver
    Buy it and try it

    Yep - Parity-disk must be in the "Parity-Slot" - rest doesn't matter 👍 In other words: Be careful to asign the "right Disk" to the Parity-Slot! This has nothing to do with the SATA-Connector - unraid identifies the disks by their serial numbers. So check the SN from the Parity-Disk and asign it to the Parity-Slot 👍
  16. Zonediver
    You are right... i didn't see the "TrueNAS" and was thinking about "unraid-to-unraid"
  17. Zonediver
    Yes - just "switchover" your disk and done - Beware the position of the Parity-Drive!

    If you are an "expert", you can use AMD-hardware - when you know what to expect... I stay away from AMD since 11(!) years because there are a lot of restrictions and other strange things... Regarding Plex: If you plan to use HW-transcoding, go for Intel and a iGPU - at least a system with a Gen 7 CPU (with Intel HD630 Graphic) or newer.
  19. Zonediver
    Thats very important - take the advantage of this "more powerfull" iGPU. The iGPU on the i7 is way to old and doesn't have a good quality compared with the HD630 from the i5. The question is now, what is more important - CPU-power or iGPU-power
  20. Zonediver
    Just one thing to mention: The i5 has a modern iGPU - this makes HW-Transcoding for Plex much more powerfull. So in this case i would take the i5, if HW-transcoding is a thing for you.
  21. Zonediver
    Depends... Both CPUs are very old - but i would take the "more cores CPU" 👍 RAM-Speed is not relevant on Intel-CPUs and it doesn't matter for unraid... But that's just my opinion
  22. Zonediver
    Its not a secret - this "fact" is mentioned in every AMD Mainboard-Usermanual 🤣 Here an Example of an ASRock B550 Board:
  23. Zonediver
    Thats not a question of RAM-speed, its a question of the platform. On "all AMD-platforms" the RAM-speed goes down if you use more then two RAM-Sticks - That's the crux of the matter with AMD systems.
  24. Zonediver
    ...definitely intel...
  25. Zonediver
    $750.- and 4k-transcoding? Maybe... but i think not... See my signature - you can leave a few things out, but... The Sys can transcode 4k to 1080p/12Mbit (Plex HW-Transcoding over iGPU) - price € 1.520.- (~ $ 1.800.-) "without" HDDs and SSDs... (unraid Pro license and Plex-Pass for HW-Transcoding included) FYI: 4k-transcoding on a CPU needs a "monster" of a CPU - 8 cores are not enough...
