  1. I checked my unraid server last night and noticed that I have a blinking red ball in front of one of my data drives. I have two 2TB drives that should be arriving tomorrow. I haven't yet tried troubleshooting the drive and cables yet on the disabled drive. I have two 2TB drives that should be arriving tomorrow. I am currently running 4.5.6 but was planning to upgrade to 4.7 since the server would be down before i added a new parity and storage drive. My question is that if it turns out to be a bad drive, would it be bad to update to 4.7 while the server was down to replace the bad drive? I will have to use the swap-disable method to replace the drive if that matters. I don't have to upgrade to 4.7 right away since the drives are the 2tb hitachi 5k3000 which appear to not be advanced format drives. Just curious if it would cause problems. Thanks, Todd
  2. Thats good news. Now I can use the gigabit card I purchased on my main computer and not the server.
  3. Did you ever get this working? I am looking at buying an intel motherboard with this lan controller in it. -Todd
  4. Thanks everyone. I will definitely check out the mediagate and XBMC. Is XBMC meant for xbox or xbox 360? If it is just the xbox I might try this since I have one lying around.
  5. Thanks for the response. Will have to look into this product.
  6. I am putting together a shopping list to build a video server for my work in progress theater room and unraid is on the top of the list. I was wondering what else besides a htpc is there to pull my video off of the unraid server and display it on my tv. I really don't need a htpc to upscale video since I have a vp30 to do that. Is there anything out there that works with the server that has any sort of gui? Any ideas would be great.
