Hi to everyone,
Last night I moved my WHS hardware in a Norco RPC-470 case and got Unraid running in minutes. I only have 2 brand new 5900rpm Seagate 1.5tb discs installed for the moment. It's transferring data so smoothly I'm impressed. I was used to WHS transfer speed crawling down sometimes, but I moved 350gb to the server (53mb/sec average) and verified (59mb/sec average) with Teracopy and no error showed up. I now feel this could stream blu-ray rips to my media player.
I keep my finger crossed as I know NF4 and 5900rpm seagates are dreaded.
Oh on the good side, I'ts using a 650W corsair. Once it's neatly cabled I'll keep post updated with pictures and proceed with more testing. I just had to try this motherboard before getting another, as it has 8 sata ports and it served me good as a WHS for the past 2 years.
Fred
p.s.: this disk/case combo is running very cool.
