Wrong speed or protocol?

Need diagnostics from both versions.

The controller needs to be in IT mode so Unraid can manage the individual drives with no intervention. If you don't, you can run into very real problems moving drives to different ports or controllers.

I don't get what you are arguing here. The new pricing lets you run the version you bought forever, and you only need to pay when you want a new version. That is exactly what you said.

That's exactly what you can do with the new model, except the new versions are at a much lower price than the initial buy in. There is no requirement to pay until you want the next version.

So is the Unraid GUI coming up when you go to that IP on your regular computer?

That means the network card in Unraid was unable to send or receive data from the router. Is the Unraid pc in the same room as the router?

Probably yes, but whether it can send mail to anyone else without being marked as spam is the issue. Can you set the reverse PTR record for your static IP? I have no clue what your level of tech expertise is, so if that last sentence was complete gobbldygook to you, the answer to your original question is no.

Until the 27th what you purchase is still a lifetime license at the old price.

Try DHCP instead of static, just to see if Unraid can get an IP from the router. It will show the IP it gets on screen just above the login prompt.

I'm confused. Your first picture shows that you were logged in, and you said you were able to ping the router IP from the Unraid console.

diagnostics may reveal something, as well as iperf tests both ways.

Yes, you can format any data or pool drive that you want to erase. Unraid won't offer to format mountable drives, so you can temporarily change the disk or pool desired filesystem to a different option, then when the array is started it will show the unmountable drives and ask if you want to format them.

As an example, lets say your IP's are as follows 192.168.1.1 router 192.168.1.2 daily driver 192.168.1.3 Unraid Try pinging the router and your desktop machine from Unraid, and try pinging the router and Unraid from your desktop machine. All should reply back. Did you assign a static IP to Unraid that is outside the range of addresses automatically assigned by your router? If not, it's possible some other device got that same IP and is causing issues.

Looks correct to me. Is it not reachable at the IP address listed a little bit above the screenshot you posted? If not, at the prompt you are showing type ping<space><router ip> and see if it can see the router.

The apps tab is fine, but some of the links in the app descriptions and such open external web pages, which aren't directly under Unraid's control like the GUI. I'm not yelling, just trying to get across the idea that the built in GUI browser isn't meant for anything beyond the Unraid GUI itself. Yes, which is why you need to only use addresses that are reachable when the array is stopped.

That is what it is meant for. No outside browsing. Period. No browsing the web looking for apps or support or documentation for apps. If you want to browse the web casually, for whatever reason, you need to be doing it on another machine. That other machine can be a VM hosted on Unraid if you wish, which you can access using the GUI browser. The built in GUI browser is not regularly updated, and can't really be properly secured.

GPU is sold, thanks for a smooth transaction. Everything arrived exactly as described in good working order.

Did you disable secure boot?

And if you (OP or anyone reading this) are using GUI mode as a general use desktop you need to stop immediately. Set up a VM for daily driver use.

How does zfs handle the leftover space with 2 different sized disks?

I believe BTRFS single profile is the only layout that will utilize different size drives fully in a pool. Since that will not be redundant, I recommend just setting up 2 different pools and using each for specific duties.

Currently not possible AFAIK.

I'm well aware of the behaviour, I was formulating an easy way to demonstrate it for someone who wanted to discover how it worked, sounds like you've got it figured out. Just be sure you keep in mind the write behaviour when using the user share, so you don't accidentally overwrite a newer version of something with an older version, and lose your changes when you "clean up"
