Hi Gary, I already have the LSI card and wanted to know if it would interfere with the 3.5" disk placed underneath as pictured above.

thanks for that, seems i cant get that server based mb other than newegg and Australia doesn't stock it. bummer. What about the pcie ports and Q25B, i also have a sas 9240-8l that i can use for additional sata. I know the q25b has 2 pci spacers at the back plate, would this card restrict access to a 3.5" drive directly under the Mb? i wanted to have this configuration potentially with the card inserted, it this possible? http://i.imgur.com/Wc5TtRN.jpg (3x3.5" + 1x2.5") underneath + 5 x 3.5" in bay)

Hi Guys, Is Skylake fully compatible with the latest unraid? looking at a new hardware build using: 1. Lian-Li PC-Q25B 2. AsRock B150M-ITX/D3 http://www.skycomp.com.au/asrock-b150m-itx-d3-mb-socket-1151-b150-2x-ddr3-ddr3l-dimm-slots-1x-pcie-3-0-x16-slot-5x-sata.html 3. Intel BX80662I36100 Core i3-6100 3.70GHZ LGA1151 CPU http://www.skycomp.com.au/intel-bx80662i36100-core-i3-6100-3-70ghz-socket-1151-3mb-cache-dual-core-41w.html 4. Silverstone St65f 650W http://www.skycomp.com.au/650w-strider-gold-cable-management-psu-80-plus-gold-342581.html question: 1. with the Q25B case apparently they take a full ATX power supply without atx extender? and not only SSF (430w sesonics people use on forum) 2. does anyone know of an equivalent motherboard that has more than 5 sata 3 ports that takes a i3-6100 3. the mb spec says that its compatible with "Supports ECC UDIMM memory modules (operate in non-ECC mode)" / Supports DDR3/DDR3L 1866(OC)/1600/1333/1066 non-ECC, un-buffered memory. I am currently using KVR1333D3E9SK2/ ECC UDIMs in my n54l microserver, would this ram be okay with the MB? 4. if not to the ecc ram can i get a recommendation on a good affordable brand / model for 16gb? thanks in advance

Thanks for reply, I think you are correct about the smart test, I've run a short and long SMART test on disk4 and it hangs on 90% today and its been a few hours. I got confused, I put it down to stress over problem and data loss at the time of incident. I am assuming it won't compete. Yesterday I recall it error-ed out stating it can't complete. Funny thing is... When the disk was much fuller before i started moving data off it it threw a lot of errors on the disk as per my original screenshot. Today it only reported 1 error after reboot and the transfer so far have not interrupted for the last 5 hours. Would that have anything to do with a potential bad cluster on the disk that it now bypassed, seems strange but it certainly underlines a problem with the drive i suppose.

sweet so providing ACHI is enabled it should be detected and work in unraid, the only limitation being is the slower disk speeds, they are multiplexed via 1 ESATA port for the 4 disk tower drives.

Thanks for the reply, are you referring to the N54L hacked bios regarding the unlocking of the onboard SATA ports. My understanding was that this simply enabled full sata 2 speed on the port and changes the ESATA to SATA. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=11585.0 changing from esata to sata would be the reverse of what im after as the external disk tower above used Esata port multiplier?

Dear All, I have a N54L HP micro-server, I have filled all of the bays and wanted to expand the number of disks. Would an external ESATA 4 bay JBOD storage tower be compatible with unraid and allow the JBOD disks to be added to array as normal? i was trying a usb external 2tb drive and i couldnt add that in only as unassigned devices thinking of this: http://www.mwave.com.au/product/icy-box-ib3640su3-external-4bay-jbod-system-for-35-inch-sata-hdds-ab57028 thanks in advance

so what you mean is, unassign disk4 and sync parity without it? wouldn't it then say its missing from the array unless i do a new disk config? or are you suggesting the below ij order: 1. removing disk4 from array (with remaining data still there as is now) 2. new disk config with disk4 unassigned from array 3. add parity back in after disk 1,2,3 have been re-added in order. then add parity and sync. move remaining disk 4 data via unassigned devices? if so can you please verify that a new disk config without a parity which need to happen first would leave disk 1,2,3 data in tack and associated shares?

the smart should be for the failing disk 4 the parity was added originally at which point it wanted to do a sync which it started to do but failed, I am assuming because disk4 gave an error. Once it failed i was locked out of enabling it back on the main screen with a green symbol hence why i opted just to leave it disabled for now. I can still access the data off disk4, so my strategy is: 1. move all data from disk4 and leave it blank 2. unshare disk 4 from any existing shares 3. shrink array and remove the disk4 from configuration by doing a new config via Tool re-add disk 1,2,3 in order to array (data was in-tack) re-add party back to array without the disk4 I am under the assumption that the data and the shares on disk 1,2, 3 would remain as well as existing share mappings, parity should sync fine providing all remaining disks including parity are not faulty. Can someone please validate above? especially the part of a new config without existing parity assigned would leave data in tack providing the disks are added to each slot correctly

Hi guys, can i please get a more experienced eye on this problem if possible, one of my disks is reporting errors and i randomly get interrupted transfers to the disk, please see below / attached. Disk 4 in array. It also appears that my parity sync now fails with this disk so I took it offline,. === START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION === SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED General SMART Values: Offline data collection status: (0x00) Offline data collection activity was never started.

Hi Guys, I'm intending to use APC SMART-UPS SC 420VA 230V [sC420I] in a HP N54L micro server, The server does not have a native serial port. I understand that a lot of people use a usb to serial adapter in these cases however the vendor advised that this UPS doesn't support a usb to serial cable. I don't entirely trust that response and wanted to know the following if anyone is familiar with this UPS. 1. Have you used a usb to serial adapter with the model and successfully configured the device via Unraid 6.x and the native plugin? 2. If so what adapter did you use and does it matter from an Unraid hardware support perspective? 3. if the above is not an option has anyone used a pcie x1 serial card in unraid which I could hook up the UPS to that works? Thanks in advance
