Looking to buy a Mac Pro 4,1 or 5,1 with at least 16GB but prefer 32GB of RAM. Must have all four HDD sleds. Do not require video card or HDD drives. Must have wifi and BT. Located in Milton, ON, Canada. Prefer local transaction if possible.

I have reconfigured my second backup server into a new chassis, however I am still using the same motherboard I was when it was a tower config. The motherboard is an Asus P8Z68-V PRO. I was using three HBA's in the old setup, one Dell Perc H310 flashed to IT mode and two Super Micro SAS2LP cards. Everything was working ok but I started experiencing issues with disks and suspected the SAS2LP cards as the culprit. I now have two new HBA's and the same Perc H310, issue is that I can only get the system working where it recognizes the drives on two of the controllers. No matter how I swap the cards around, I can get the system working with cards in slots 1 and 3 but as soon as I put a card in slot 2, the system only sees the card in slot 1. Not sure why. I am attaching two configs one with all three cards in, the other with only two. Not sure if they will show much. I upgraded to 6.8 from 6.7 to see if that would make a difference, it did not. backup_tower-diagnostics-20200101-1641.zip backup_tower-diagnostics-20200101-1637.zip

I might suggest rolling back to 6.7 and trying it, could be a bug with a new driver for 6.8 or compatibility with your cards.

Yes of course that is what I meant to say, that it actually runs from memory, thanks for correcting that.

I have no experience with freenas but I don't see why those parts won't work with unRAID. You do understand that unRAID boots and runs from a USB flash drive?

I am located in Milton, ON, just outside (west) of Toronto, I have a few items for sale. 1. Antec 1200 case with four 4x1 cages, it has an Asus P8Z68 V Pro motherboard, an Intel i5-2500 CPU and 16GB of RAM with a 500w power supply. 2. I have two 5x1 Icy Dock cages I am not willing to part the Antec 1200 case, as it is right now it will hold 16 drives. The motherboard works with unRAID no issues there. The case is very heavy and shipping would be expensive, I would suggest local pickup or I can meet you depending on the location. For the Antec 1200 as is I am asking $500.00 The Icy Dock 5-1 cages I am asking $125.00 each. This does not include an unRAID license I am a little flexible on prices so if you are interested make me an offer. I can send pics on request.

I have a backup server that either has something going on with cables or a controller. It had issues with the parity drive, claiming CRC errors and runtime bad block errors, I replaced it with a clean drive, and started a party sync, hours later it now has errors, and this isn't the first disk to wind up like this, this previous disk had runtime bad block errors and CRC errors, this one has reported uncorrect and CRC errors. Can I still use this drives in my unRAID server? Assuming the errors are the result of a bad cable or controller?

My plex server has dual hex core Xeon's and before I got my P2000 it was doing all the heavy lifting for transcoding. Since I got my P2000 however it hardly goes about 3-5% unless it's doing something specific, the P2000 handles all the trasncoding and it's great. I paid $375 USD for mine which I noticed for sale on a reddit forum and snatched it up right away. The beautiful thing about this card is that it doesn't requite and power like a gaming card, it gets all the power it needs from the PCIe slot.

When I go to plugins it does not say there is an update. Also, I have pre cleared drives on this same server quite recently without issues. I have presently moved this drive to a different server that just successfully pre cleared a similar drive without issues. Strange

I have a brand new external disk that has failed a preclear twice now, see logs below: Any ideas why this is failing?

So far after pre clearing probably over 30 drives, I have never had one fail, today one did. What does this log mean?

You may have heard this before but RAID, or unRAID is not a backup, meaning you should always have a second copy of your data. I know this isn't easy for many people as it costs $$ but if your data is worth anything to you, then please seriously consider it.

Sometimes you have to do the tape mod: http://yannickdekoeijer.blogspot.com/2012/04/modding-dell-perc-6-sas-raidcontroller.html

Do you have a backup or second copy of your data?
