  1. purko, you make a good point, hopefully we can move to 4.7.1 stable shortly. I am content to have a stable release that supports advanced format drives for the time being without any quirks. It is an unreasonable amount of effort. Support the > 2.1 TB drives requires a newer Linux kernel and tools, which is essentially what the unRAID 5.x series is. It is not an unreasonable request though, seeing how the unRAID 5.x series has been in beta for 14 months already, and the end is anyone's bet. What's unreasonable is that the stable release has been practically abandoned, without any new stable version to replace it.
  2. Curious if anyone has had success running in S3 sleep mode + wake on USB with an APC UPS? I'd like the APCUPS software to wake my server from sleep via USB, and power down safely in the event of a power failure/low battery event. From what I gather, the server has to be always ON for the UPS to properly communicate the shut-down command - any thoughts?
  3. Joe, thanks again for your thorough response and for saving me a few hours tinkering with my computer.
  4. Joe, LAN is not a bad idea to get around any potential issues. I intend to physically move the disks; I understand that unRAID can read NTFS. However, dynamic disks are not normally readable outside of windows, it's essentially software raid 0-1 built-in to windows OS. Thanks for the reply, wondering if anyone has tried this. I'm inclined to install the unRAID and attached a dynamic disk to see if it can be read.
  5. I am currently using Win 7 Pro with dynamic disks for software mirroring of my data drives. I am thinking about setting up an unraid server but I wanted to check first if I can migrate data from a dynamic disks, or would I have to convert them back to basic disk? Thanks
