Hello all, I have just upgraded to 6.12.3 from 6.9.2 and for some reason all my dockers no longer have the webui. Any ideas as to what the issue is as I am flummoxed. cheers, M0zz

I have an old mATX PC with an A10 chip in it and have been considering using this as a second Unraid machine for my reading library and leave the main machine as the media server. I think upgrading the CPU, and handing down the 1600 makes it more of a possibility. Also having the second server means I can play more with Unraid without annoying the wife with reboots and such. Even better is that I am seeing that even some A320 motherboards (which my mATX is) are also getting the upgrade. I will have to check when I home.

I'm currently running a 1600, and was looking into possibly upgrading to a later APU and freeing up a PCI spot by removing my GT710. Now I think I am going to rethink my update map.

Hi all, I was perusing the web, considering an upgrade to the CPU on my first generation B350 ryzen motherboard, when I came across a post stating that the new 5000 chips would work with an official bios upgrade. I was wondering if anyone had done this and how stable their build now is? M0zz

So you have tried two yourself, but got put off another by someone writing an article? Maybe install it an give it a whirl? It is all down to personal preference in the end. I'm sure other users will find a different Home NAS solution fits their needs better, but they are not you. Throwing down my tuppence. M0zz

Hello All, I have finally decided to upgrade my case from some generic mid-tower to something that won't scratch me to hell when trying to do something inside it. I purchased the p101s and the build has gone well and everything is back up and running. But... In the case I have a female molex labelled 'fan controller' and a blank male molex. Unfortunately I can find no information as to what the molex plugs are for. Seeing as the fans are not on is the blank molex for the front fans? And the labelled molex for using a fan controller? Any help is greatly appreciated. Cheers, M0zz

Don’t install the second drive and keep it as a backup away from the server. Then when you need to expand, buy two more drives, fit one to the server and use the other as a backup for it. i keep my backups away from the server.

Hello all, I am looking to set up a small ‘stable’ plex build for my wife. It will be built into an mATX cube (looking at Sugo SG02). I have a couple of 8tb drives, a 480gb SSD. And two matx boards with cpus (and associated RAM). - h110m with an I5 6400T - a320m with an A8 9600 this will run the plex, sonarr, radarr and sab dockers only. And sab will only run a few times a week. I am interested in using the combination that suits just this set up as i have plans for the other motherboard/CPU. Your thoughts would be appreciated. M0zz

I am looking to build a SFF unraid server and, as i have everything backed up elsewhere that needs backing up, i wont be adding a parity drive (at least for the foreseeable). This would be used as a stable plex machine. And my 8 drive monster will be for other media and to play with VMs and Dockers. This again does not yet have a parity drive. But again i have the data backed up. Before UnRaid i stored everything on portable HDDs, which are now my backups. Parity is a very good idea, but it isn’t necessary.

I don’t see why this cpu would have an issue with Unraid. I use a Ryzen 5 1600 which handles the basics and multiple dockers with no issue at all. Sits at less than 5% most of the time.

I think this comes down to budget with regards to Motherboard and CPU, and what futureproofing you want. If you don't want a lot of dockers and VMs I think you don't need to go mad specs-wise. And as long as you keep hold of the USB stick with Unraid on. It will work out the box.

Cheers JorgeB Finally got round to sorting this out. With the machine shut down, I took the opportunity to add a couple of extra drives, replace all SATA cables, label drives and give the whole PC a clean. On boot up all is back to normal. A big relief. Now to look into expanding my backup regimen and maybe getting a parity drive if I can afford it and something is on offer. M0zz

Hello, I have been considering putting together a small media server, and was hoping to get away with using some old gear I have knocking about the place. The server will have a couple of decent sized drives and will just be used to serve plex on a TV and a couple of IPADS. I have an old motherboard with enough SATA slots and an AM1 Athlon 5150 in it, this is what I would prefer to use. Will this be enough? Thanks M0zz

Diagnostics attached. tower-diagnostics-20210315-0927.zip

OK. It is close to 1am here and i have just fired up my server and got disk 4 of my 5 disk array ‘missing’ and the drive has turned up in the unassigned drives as needing formating. I do not have a parity drive, but have the important data backed up. firstly, is there anything i can do to Resurrect this drive? secondly, if there is nothing i can do, how do i get my fifth drive into the fourth slot so i can start the server? Thanks in advance, M0zz
