Hello i am running low on space and just saw that the WDears on newegg went up to 99.99 again so i was looking at this one on best buy WDBAAY0020HNC-NRSN for 99.99 and its a retail package so wondering if anyone has any experience with these drives since they seem to be similar to the ears but i've only used the ears any input would be appreciated here is a direct link. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Western+Digital+-+Caviar+Green+2TB+Internal+Serial+ATA+Hard+Drive/9234465.p?id=1218064150518&skuId=9234465&st=wd&cp=2&lp=13

Just finished Preclearing this drive with the updated preclear.sh can you guys let me know how it looks good or bad thanks.

Ok i went ahead and updated it and it works now sorry and thank you.

Just rebooted and i dont see anything when i input that command on root@tower.

Hello i just registered my urnaid to pro and recently when i try to use unmenu from firefox i get a page not found. //tower works fine but :8080 doesn't work and it worked fine before i got the pro key any reason or suggestions on how to get it to work again? running unraid 4.7 server pro

Would i need to increase the split level as i add more hard drives or not? will 2 work for any amount.

Right now i have two WDEARS 2tb i have 500GB left of space i mapped them on my computer as movies and shows, The shares folder i have share name as Movies high water min free space is 20,000,000 and split level of 2 for the shows i have it high water with a min free space of 18,000,000 and 4 split level. Last time i had to up the split level on my movies shares because it kept on reading that i didn't have enough space so i upped it from 1 to 2 and that solved the issue. On my computer the drive mapped as Movies has 3 different folders to organize my movies one being 480p 720p and 1080p, my friend told me its easier if i just put all the movies in a movies folder and not split them because i will always have the issue that i have to up the split level by one when i add a new drive and it will also split the data onto different drives wondering if that is true to keep in one folder is better or is my set up ok? Any recommendations or tips would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Hello i started my unraid with 2 HDD now its growing and i put a split level of 2 then i realized i have to up it every time i add a new one because it will tell me its full even if it has space. Now my question is if i put the split level to 1 now so it doesn't split them into a lot of Hdd's will it work or would i have to re copy all my movies?

Seems like the noise went away not sure right now its on the preclear process will post results and smart report once that is done.

I just ordered 2 WDEars 2tb and one is making a clicking noise and i started preclearing one and it works when i try to preclear the one making the clicking noise it says this disk /dev/sdd doesn't contain a valid partition table is there something wrong with it and what should i do?

Yeah will try that next thank you right now xfering my 3TB dns 321 to my 4TB Unraid loving it so far i think i will need pro version soon

Oh im sorry read through it fast yeah thanks now it shows them

Nothing happend when i typed //tower

Hello not sure if this is the right place to post this but my question is my preclearing of new WDears precleared and finished yesterday i mounted them and am able to access them through mozilla as //tower i can see all the options and drives i can also see the tower on my router page but i cant figure out how to acess them through my network or map them. I see my dns 321 and everything else but not my unraid any help would be grealy appreciated im using windows 7 for settings i have server name as tower and share security simple comments Media server Workgroup as WORKGROUP and local master no.

Thank you theyre added but now i cant access the Server throgh windows ; ; only through //tower

This is my second drive thank you. new to unraid. ============================================================================ == == Disk /dev/sdb has been successfully precleared == == Ran 1 preclear-disk cycle == == Using :Read block size = 8225280 Bytes == Last Cycle's Pre Read Time : 7:42:28 (72 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Zeroing time : 7:41:02 (72 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Post Read Time : 14:07:33 (39 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Total Time : 29:33:51 == == Total Elapsed Time 29:33:51 == == Disk Start Temperature: 20C == == Current Disk Temperature: 23C, == ============================================================================ S.M.A.R.T. error count differences detected after pre-clear note, some 'raw' values may change, but not be an indication of a problem 19,20c19,20 < Offline data collection status: (0x80) Offline data collection activity < was never started. --- > Offline data collection status: (0x84) Offline data collection activity > was suspended by an interrupting command from host. 54c54 < 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 100 253 051 Pre-fail Always - 0 --- > 1 Raw_Read_Error_Rate 0x002f 200 200 051 Pre-fail Always - 0 58c58 < 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 100 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 --- > 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 63c63 < 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 15 --- > 193 Load_Cycle_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 17 67c67 < 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 --- > 199 UDMA_CRC_Error_Count 0x0032 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 ============================================================================ ============================================================================ == == S.M.A.R.T Initial Report == smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright © 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 Serial Number: WD-WMAZA1096534 Firmware Version: 51.0AB51 User Capacity: 2,000,398,934,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Will this work for the meantime since i am on a budget currently using the dns321 too. Just need it to work with the free unraid until i can buy the license for the pro version and more HDD's. Also how would this psu from newegg do? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139018

I'm planning on building a new server for the first time i want to use a couple of spare parts i have laying around for starters i would like some input on this PSU i have in my current case its a Raidmax 630Z with these specs. This is a direct link to it http://www.frys.com/product/6030458?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG * 630 watts total input * A huge 135mm blue LED fan * durable black satin finish * 20/24 ATX Main power connector * Smart Modular Cooling system * 6 x ATX 4-pin Molex connectors * 4 x SATA connectors * 2 x 4-pin floppy connectors * 2 x PCI-Express connectors * Hexflo honey comb cutouts for maximum airflow * High grade black mesh wrapped cabling
