  1. Thank you all for helping me out. some more questions- 1. What kind of boot time with WOL can I expect in a typical setup say with same hardware that Tomm is using. I am really concerned about power consumption so would like to shutdown the unraid server after 10min of inactiveity.. Up here in Houston, TX its around 16cents/KW..Is it possible to have such setup with Meedio so that when I press Play for DVD, WOL command gets sent to unRaid server. After 10 min of inactivity (after movie), unRaid shuts down automatically. Possible??? 2. Can I have more than 1 Network card with this ASUS mobo..Say the Intel Pro Gigabit card..I attach one to network via a router and the other one to HTPC direclty for faster read/write. 3. This one is dumb...Promise Sata II cards are PCI interface with max throughput of 150MB/s and Sata II is 300MB/s. So with the addon card to increase sata II interface I am not getting the max performace. Am i missing something.... Regards, Shaurya
  2. Hello RockDawg, Thanks for your response. I unfortunately beg to differ. If I have a unique product that I believe is filling a big gap for the customer, I would go to customer rather than wait for customer to come to me. Just my personal opinion. IMHO unRaid has great feature set. Very few people at meediOS forum knew about unRaid. The thread I started at MeediOS.com generated some good interest & momentum, which may not last long unless the developer of the product keeps the ball rolling. Kind Regards, Shaurya
  3. Thanks Billped for correcting me. Regards, Shaurya
  4. Thanks for your response. IIRC, SATA has limit on the data cable lenght. Not sure how the routing the cable back into the case work play out. Regards, Shaurya
  5. Thanks for your reply. Can NIC be a PCI add on card like Intel Pro Gigbit lan card or it has to be an intergrated card as see in most of the Mobo discussed here...Once the magic packet has been sent for WOL, what's the realistic boot time before unraid is ready to transfer the dvd file i have requested. Would love to know your mobo model no and your sata card model as well. Dumb question - PCI cards' bandwidth is 150Mbps. SataII supports 300Mbps. So if I am buying a PCI promise/SIL sata II card, I am not going to get the 300Mbps. Regards, Shaurya
  6. Hello McFly, Have you found one with 8 sata that is compatible. I am a newbie and have never done any linux/unix install. So want to piggyback on someone's experience. Regards, Shaurya
  7. Hello Mark, I am a newbie and would like to know if you researched for 8 sata 775 mobo. I went thru the compatible Mobo list but couldn't find one. Can some one please help me out. Regards, Shaurya
  8. Hello Tom, I would appreciate if you can join the HTPC forum of MeediOS.com. I have a thread requesting fellow members to post their experience with unRaid.http://www.meedios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1501. In this thread, I am looking for feedback from other user. I therefore request you to start your own thread in the event you have an interest. Regards, Shaurya
  9. Hello Mr Bill, Thanks for your prompt response. Isn't WOL supported...As per http://www.lime-technology.com/wordpress/?page_id=19 it appears to be supported (5th line from the bottom). Can you or someone confirm this... If its true than I guess I can live w/o S3 feature for a while. Can some one please confirm the WOL feature. Regards, Shaurya
  10. Hello, Spent almost a day on the lime tech's website/forum/wiki and would like to propse following improvement- 1. Could not find any link to wiki site either from lime's home page or from forum's home page. 2. Once on the forum site, could not find a like to go back to lime's home page. Had to retype the lime's homepage's url. 3. From wiki could not navigate back to lime's home page or to forum's home page. Though small points but could be useful for any new visitor like me. Regards, Shaurya
  11. Thank you Mr Bill for answering some of my questions. That cliarfied quite alot.- How do I take care of power consumption..what about S3/hibernate like feature. Any info on WOL. Is it possible to try unRaid in a virtual environmet ..eg vmware etc... Regards, Shaurya
  12. Hello, I heard about unRaid on AVS forum and Xlobby forum. I liked what I read and would like to try it out. I have some questions and would appreciate candid advise and feedback from fellow experienced unRaiders.- Background- I am computer savvy (work in IT as SAP consultant) but not a geek. My experience with Raid technologies and Unix/Linux is next to nothing other that get/put/ftp commands. Need help I am open to learn Linux to the extent required but would like some feedback from fellow unRaiders who were primarily Windows user. How difficult is it to install and troubleshoot unRaid. Is it possible to tryout unRaid w/o buying the hardaware..I mean using vmware/virtual pc etc. Is unRaid completely command line or it does have some graphics like some linux flavors I am really concered about power consumption. Are features similar to suspend/hibernate etc are supported. what kind of power consumption can I anticipate if the sytem (celeron 1.7Ghz, 2 500gb hdd and P845 soyo Mobo) and is idle and nothing is running say when I am not at home Is WOL supported How good is the support from the company. Read somewere (I guess wiki or AVS) that the mangement is completely browser base...How true is it. Couldn't find any screenshot on Lime's website. I am still reading the forum/documentation/wiki and may have few more questions. Regards, Shaurya
