Greetings, I started my NAS/Server endeavour with an HP ProLiant ML10 which had identical specs to your dell. I started off running Freenas because I had never heard of unRAID at the time. The issue with Freenas especially running ZFS is the amount ram needed to keep the system stable and fast. The given rate is roughly 4-8GB of ram for the system and 1GB per terabyte of storage space. After a while the HP ProLiant ML10 wasn't cutting it anymore, there was only a limited amount of drives that the tower could hold without heavy modifications. I ended up selling it than building a monster X99 Xeon e5-2670v3 system and yes freenas incredibly well but it was such a resource hog in my opinion. I wanted my system to be more robust and adapt to my needs over time i.e. vm's etc. I watched Linus's video and I was sold. But after loading up unRaid I figured out that for my personal needs my X99 system was beyond overkill. I ended up selling that lol and now I run off an HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8. It has 4 drive bays and can hold a bunch of ssd's in various places with an addition raid card or HBA. The fan was super loud for awhile but I just acquired the latest firmware/bios update from a guy on reddit and now it's silent. this thing is tiny 10"x 9" x 9" powerful (16GB ECC E3-1265L v2) and uses like 60 watts under heavy loads. I think I'm either getting another one or maybe something a little bigger to add to the collection for long-term storage. In my opinion, unRaid is just as safe and stable and Freenas with zfs if you take the proper precautions. I think no matter what OS you run on whatever hardware your running it on you still need to do backups.

Check reddit, there's a parts swap and sell section. Stuff like that shows up all the time. I actually sold 2 Corsair 3 drive trays on there well I just made the kid pay the shipping basically. If I had any R5 parts I would.

Lol yeah I do understand that they want to keep this just unraid stuff which is fine. I just wish someone wanted my HP Microserver Gen8 I have posted its just going to end up collecting dust.

Absolutely. Once there's an android version I'll be posting my S3 here. [emoji14] Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk S3 as in Galaxy s3? They just said there taking down my post for the iPad Pro. I guess it has to be related to unraid.

So technically you can manage your headless unraid server with the iPad Pro ;D

My bad guys I figured it was bending them but the t sold so you can remove it. Are server cabinets and ups systems allowed? Is there a list of not allowed item?

I know this is kinda out there but I figured why not. iPad Pro 12.9" 128GB WIFI+LTE UNLOCKED W/ Apple Pencil and smart case. Was a gift that was purchased March 1st and used 3 times. Screen protector installed. Retails for $1278 with tax Will ship internationally but buyer pays shipping Asking $1080 shipped OBO

Is this LSI card still available?

I got one PM and just replied.

Yes $75.00 is the price for everything. No unfortunately I do not have the low profile brackets. You can find them occasionally on eBay/ If I have a card I really want to use I modify the bracket or find a video card bracket and modify that.

Guys I am selling the 2 cards and 2 cables. Like theecatman said I posted that link as a reference Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can get longer ones but I think the longest is 30ft but I my be wrong. These are sfp+ copper not fiber. Same. Speeds way cheaper Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

3M/10ft each there's 2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well just about maxed out but if you test RAM disk to ram disk you will Mac it out Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah you leave the gigabit as it is now. Then once the 10gig is installed you give it an IP address of like 192.168.5.1 and the other card 192.168.5.2 subnet stays the same 255.255.255.0 you leave everything else blank because that connection will not need the Internet. Then in Windows go to network connections and sharing again pull up the network adapters then hit alt and the top hidden menu bar will show. Then you give the 10gig network priority over the gigabit and your set. Also you want to enable jumbo packets on both cards. It's really not difficult I watched a video and did it in 5 mins. I tested it with an nvme m.2 ssd and 2 Samsung evos in raid 0 and maxed out the connection. If you don't have that many ssd's then make a temp RAM disk. All in all your speeds will be way faster depending on file types. I transferred 1.6TB in a little over an hour Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Linux tech tips did a few videos on YouTube about them with unraid. There's a bunch of setup tutorials online and on YouTube. But they work out of the box with Windows and unraid Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes that's exactly what I used them for. You need to enable a bunch of settings like jumbo packets etc but with caching and fast ssd's in my windows 10 pc I amazing speeds. You will find out really fast the gigabit networks get saturated very easily. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wish I noticed this earlier. I needed an LGA1155 Xeon for my microserver but ended up going on eBay and buying a Xeon E3-1265L v2 for $300
