Thanks Fatboy

Thanks for your help. M

Thanks for the responses guys. I guess you can tell I'm new to this OK, so if I use 4.7 I can use HDD's with 4k sectors is that right? In essence I just want to buy whatever 2TB HDD's will work without jumpers etc that are reasonably priced. I'm from the UK and want to spend up to £90 max per HDD. Thanks again, M

Thanks for responding, I did read the sticky was just a little confused by it. Does it mean if I format the HDD's with the latest version and then use that version as my UnRAID server, no jumpers are necessary? Thanks for your help, M

HI, I'm about to build my first UnRAID server and have read some posts about compatibility issues with some 2TB HDD's. So, my question is as I'll be doing a brand new install on the latest version (V5.0 I think?) can I use the WD/Samsung/Seagate/Hitachi 2TB HDD's without using the "jumpers" mentioned on other posts? I hope that makes sense? And thanks for your help. M

Hi Guys, I've been reading the UnRAID forum for some time and I'm just about to take the leap and build my own server. I use a QNAP 409 Pro at present. I have no real computer skills but feel comfortable taking this project on. Essentially I want to start with around 5 disks (including parity) and build on from there as necessary. The least fluffing about with drive cages the better. So, I guess I'm looking for as many native 3.5" slots as possible I'd appreciate your advice on which case you think would be most appropriate. I've narrowed it down to: Fractal Design R3 Thermaltake Element G Mid Tower Thermaltake Element S Mid Tower Cooler Master 690 II Advanced Zalmann M1000 HS2 Mid Tower Antec 900 or 1200 Many thanks, M
