Both worked perfectly. Asking $40 for both shipped (continental usa).

i updated the bios from 1.1 to the latest 1.4. i turned off the hotswap and aggessive link. Speeds seem normal and parity check is running good without dropping drives like it was before. i will report back final speeds once i have all my new drives in place. but so far so good. my final config is going to be: seven 3TB 7200rpm drive (one of these is parity) 6gb/s sata two 2TB 5900rpm drives 6gb/s sata five 1TB drives 5400rpm 3gb/s sata one 128gb SSD Cache drive 6gb/s sata total of 27TB of storage spanned over 13 drives plus cache and parity (15drives total) all in three 3x5 istar hotswap bays

Thank you, thank you I was searching for how to do multiple drives too when I saw this post. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

The version of unraid I'm using is 5.05. And as for my power supply. I should be fine. It is a Corsair VX series single rail 550 watt rated 41amps o the 12v 80 plus rated Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tips. I actually removed the add on card 1430sa to eliminate that as the issue. I only transfered one file to test write speeds to cache and it was +60mb/s on the write with an old 200gb HDD I had been using. Once I have everything solved I will install the new Samsung 128gb ssd drive I bought. I will test out some of the setting after I flash the bios. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

Issue with Unraid server upgrade. I have an old Unraid build that I wanted to upgrade the motherboard and add some larger HDD’s. Old system is an AMD X2 Toledo 2.2ghz dual core, 4gb DDR 3200 ram, Corsair 550w single rail PS, Asus A8N-SLI deluxe MB and Adaptec 1430sa qty2 SATA PCIe cards. I’m pairing this with three 5x3 SATA hotswap bays for a total of 15 drives in an old Thermaltake Armor full tower case. New build is ASROCK C2550D4I Intel Avoton 2.4ghz board. I bought 8gb (2x4gb) of DDR3 1600 ram Kingston HyperX , going to reuse the power supply and one of the Adaptec 1430sa card for a total of 16 sata connections. Plus I bought a total of five 3TB HDD’s Well 1st thing I did before taking anything apart was do a parity check, update to the latest unraid 5.x, backup my USB Flash and print out my drive config. I then installed new motherboard, memory and adaptec 1430sa card. Installed all the old drives just the way they were in my old system. Booted up and WOW, everything was so much faster. I put the array on line and everything seemed the way it should be. My next step was to replace an old 300GB Maxtor drive that was amazingly still going strong with a 2 TB Hdd (my parity drive was 3TB FYI) but this is where things started to go wrong. I got a bad drive error (red dot) on the drive. I ended up playing around with things to get it to work. I would sometimes reboot and have missing drive /drives in Unraid that were listed in the Bios. I would get red dots on several Hdd’s I tried. What I ended up doing is doing a New Config and put the 300gb Maxtor back in and not running a parity drive. This was the only way I could get my array and shares to work correctly. Every time I would redo parity sync there were 4 drives that would get errors and the log stated that it could not read those drives. I’m not able to post log at this time. So I then moved the drives around and tested the new config again with parity sync and it was four new drives the server couldn’t read. I figured it would be the same connections on the MB but only three were. One was a totally new connection but the same SATA controller (MB has three of them) Oh, also once the errors started to happen I would stop the parity sync and stop the array. Once the array was stopped the four drives that were green dot, but reporting errors, all disappeared and the red dot with unassigned listed was there with no Hdd’s. Basically the drive just disappeared. On reboot they would be in bios but only if I hit New config would they show up again. And even then sometimes one of them wouldn’t. Well I just confirmed today it is defiantly a hardware issue. I ripped all the new hardware out and put the old stuff back in. booted up (took forever, lol) and did the new config again. Parity sync was 100% completed with zero errors. My array is running like it was before. So my next step is going to be changing out cables and testing connections on the new hardware. Only other thing I could think of is that there is some sort of compatibility issue with this server series board and Unraid. Well, comments are welcome. Hopefully I can resolve this issue or the board is going back. I really liked the 12 SATA’s though.

I picked up this board to upgrade from a really old AMD duo core that is close to 8-9 years old. Retiring some of my old HDD like a Maxtor 300gb and some WD 500gb. I purchased four Seagate 3TB 7200 drives and one Toshiba 3TB drive. Also a 120gb Samsung SSD for my cache drive. These will add to two 2TB Samsung drives and seven 1TB drives most of which are WD green's. I will let you know what I get for speeds. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

I am on year 6 on my original USB. I had HDD fail before but USB has never been an issue. The stick is a Lexar Firefly 1gb bought in August 2008 Oh one of my older HDD in the array is a Maxtor that is still running strong for over 10 years of usage. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

JUST TYPE IN PROMO CODE EMCBAACAH AN RECIEVE $10 OFF THE $129.99 PRICE! Code is valid till 10/8

I do not know how long it took but the SAmsung eventually spun down. Just not after an hour. it was somewhere between 4-12hours

Just for the record! I am not blaming Unraid software at all for this issue since it did work for me fine with other HDD. I agree about the Samgung firmware. One other thing, it's a real newbie question so please dont bash to bad. I see lot of posts about posting scrips or creating a new Kernal. (not even sure i'm using the terminology correctly,lol!) Is there any good info anywere so I can learn basically what you guys are doing and where to do it at. Yes I know I probly should leave it to the experts but looking through this forum it looks like there is allot of cool things you can customize Unraid to do for you. Except when I read how to do it, it's like i'm back in my old Latin class 20years ago, LOL! Not a clue! thanks again, Larry G

upgraded from 4.3 Works fine! AMD X2 4400 MB Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Only problem is my Samsung Hd103UJ Drive (parity) will not spin down. This problem existed with 4.3 so nothing new! I would post system log if someone could tell me how to do that. Larry G

I am running 4.4b right now and was running 4.3. I understand that 1 drive is not a big deal but being an engineer, when things dont work perfectly (which they ussually never do) it really bugs me. I just want it to work like it's supossed to! that said I'll probly keep it for a while in hope the new revisions eventully solve this issue for me. If not I most likly will move the Samsung drive into my HTPC for DVR which currently holds the WD 1TB that woked before.
