Fix might be available via the openSUSE guys: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/drivers/ata/sata_mv.c?id=e9f691d899188679746eeb96e6cb520459eda9b4 I assume it would hit unRAID at one point in time.

Any suggestions?

I'm trying to build a frankenNAS with parts I already have available, only MB/CPU would probably be new. This is the first time I'll power that many disks with a consumer PSU, are there any guidelines or rules of thumb to do it?. I have these two PSUs available: Sentey ERP700-SS EVGA 850 G2 (220-G2-0850-XR)

Well, having some remote users mean even going to 720p and having 3 copies of the full library doesn't sound attractive. But I'll think about it. AM4 options with 128GB of RAM sound attractive, too bad Quick-Sync is an Intel only thing. Any downside going with an "el cheapo" Gigabyte X570 UD (dual H310 and an 10GbE NIC, skipping GPU altogether)?

The idea is to reach 19-21 SATA drives (dual Dell H310 8-port + onboard SATA). Would the E-2100 iGPU transcoding be any better than using the GTX-1050Ti?

Hello!, Currently I have a lab server running with dual E5-2670 processors + 128GB RAM, it's built on an Intel tower chassis + 8 SATA disks for a NAS (8 port HBA passthrough to a VM). Usually requires 24x7 air conditioning so the fans don't scream announcing the end of the world (home environment). I'm looking to replace it with UnRAID, got as a starting point: - 1 x spare tower chassis - 3 x CSE-M35TQB (I think I even have silent fans to replace the stock ones) - 1 x GTX-1050Ti - 3 x Dell H310 - 1000w PSU (don't remember the model, bought & never used) I'm looking to add 4 or 6 slots for 2.5" disks to the mix, so I'll need 19 to 21 SATA ports. No rush there, can wait for the 15 days it takes to arrive to PY. Now, on the MB/CPU side I'm clueless about which way to go, I was hoping to go with with a i3-9100F or AMD equivalent, but the MB cost breaks the "cost effective" spirit. It will be mainly used as NAS + Emby transcoding + light virtualization (jumphost/toy VMs, home firewall, etc). Since I don't want to wait , these are the prices I get😞: Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master --> us$ 355.3 (inc. taxes) Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master --> us$ 429 (inc. taxes) Gigabyte X399 Aorus Pro --> us$ 329 (inc. taxes) Gigabyte X399 Designare Ex --> us$ 485 (inc. taxes) 2 x PCIe x8 + 1 x PCIe x16 combo seems hard to find in the inexpensive options. Low noise/heat/power consumption is required, ECC memory is nice to have. Suggestions?

Years ago I purchased a second hand Supermicro server (2U, 12 drives). It came with: Supermicro SAS826TQ Supermicro X7SBE Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz Kingston 4GB RAM (1) Supermicro SAT2-MV8 (2) 800 watt PSU (redundant) I never used it and was archived. Now, I need a backup NAS (secondary storage) and wanted to make use of that purchase. The thing is, I found it restarts itself randomly (or a couple of minutes after startup), it doesn't matter if it's running the OS, memtest or BIOS. If someone has seen that behaviour and can give me some hints, it would be awesome. If not, I'm pondering my options to refurbish it, given I like the 2U form factor and the 12 hotplug bays. Given the hardware is not that generic, I'm inclined to get another X7SBE (blaming the mobo for the restart). Now, taking a look at the specs, any current motherboard is leaps better but I'm worried about: 1- Non standard PSU 2- Standard MB may not have all the required connector (i2c, SPGIO, etc). Any comments/suggestions?

Which model did you buy?, 92mm or 120mm fans?

Which heatsinks are you using with that case?

That sucks . So the motherboard fits without the drive cage, but with it, it's a no go? If so, how many millimeters are you short? Maybe a skinnier fan on the back of the cage? I see the fan sits in a housing. Can a fan be attached directly to the cage without the housing? If so, does removing the housing give you the required space? If it can be attached without the housing, but the stock fan is still too thick, from the Supermicro page, it looks like it uses a 92x32mm fan. Here are the specs for the fan itself. It looks like to replace it with a fan that pushes a similar amount of air, you need one that moves 56cfm or more. I see a bunch of 25mm deep fans that will fit the bill (though they are mostly 3-pin. Not the end of the world, just can't control via pwm...) The solution would be a 60cm depth case. Tried without the fan and still touches the MB, without being able to secure the box (waiting for the "click" sound)

It is very picky on the voltage of the 2 12v mobo connectors. As a last resort i would remove the 2nd cpu and 12v connector and see if she fires up. Got the exact same figure for both connectors using a tester. Not sure if they're good enough.

Double check everything you connected on your system. I just booted mine up with an EVGA G2 750w over lunch today and it worked well. FWIW, I'm using the 850W P2 without issue. This is what I was getting : https://iriarte.it/nube/index.php/s/Ib8vkXi9bNLEoD0

Any info about the specific model?. Can that accomodate 3 5-in-3 boxes at the front?.

It is very picky on the voltage of the 2 12v mobo connectors. As a last resort i would remove the 2nd cpu and 12v connector and see if she fires up. Removed all the memory modules and the flashing light issue disappeared, got a nice steady "online" LED, but after trying to power on the system all the lights powered off. The MB seems pretty much dead now. Got a ML150 G6 case which is deep enough to accommodate MB and a hot plug cage box at the front, but it cannot accommodate 3 boxes in total (not standard/compatible screw holes). Any "deals" on MB and case combos?, I'm looking to plug 2 x E5-2670, 128GB RAM, 2 x H310 HBAs and fit 3 x 5-in-3 boxes (cse-m35tqb). All this assuming the memory modules and CPUs are not dead also. Getting tired of trying to make everything fit, I'm in plan D right now, more than expected money spent and without a working system.

Hi! , after a lot of waiting I received my Natex combo and a new EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR PSU. As I had to wait for the MB, I happily used an old AN-M2HD. Now with the new MB I can't even turn on the MB. When the PSU is plugged I see flashing LESs and some kind of pulsing sound from the PSU mimicking the light rhythm. Has anybody seen something like that?. I don't have a second PSU with two CPU connectors, so I'm unable to validate if the PSU is to blame. Here's a video of it: https://iriarte.it/nube/index.php/s/Ib8vkXi9bNLEoD0

That's a hotplug cage

Got last night a natex combo, but after plugging it (just the EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR without any add-ons) I cannot start the system. There seems to be a power issue, the LEDs get lit at the same time and power off cyclically. Any pointers?, the PSU, which is new, was working fine with another MB.

Ok, got the E5 combo, my case is not deep enough to accommodate it and CSE-M35TQB with its fan.

No-one used this cage before?

Run out of molex connectors I still have plenty of SATA power connectors, would any molex modular cable fit the PSU?, or should I just uso those generic SATA to MOLEX adapters with the stock cables?

Hi! , I'm trying to match 2 x PERC H310 HBAs to 3 x Supermicro CSE-M35TQB, which I just received. I bought 2 breakout cables for each HBA but the cages came with one breakout cable that includes 4 SATA ports and a 2x4 PIN connectors on the cage side, I understand the latter is to control error LEDs. I was expecting to cable them like this: HBA 1: Ports 1-4 to Cage 1, disks 1-4 Ports 5 to Cage 1, disk 5 Ports 6-8 to Cage 2, disks 1-3 HBA 2: Ports 1-2 to Cage 2, disks 4-5 Ports 3-4 to Cage 3, disks 1-2 Ports 5-7 to Cage 3, disks 3-5 Ports 8, free But now that I got the extra cables, physically I'll be able to connect the extra signaling cable to the cages, but how will the HBAs know which cage to signal when there's a broken disk?

If you don't already have a chassis, the eBay seller kalleyomalley has some really nice Intel New In Box surplus ones that come with a platinum power supply or two depending on the config for < $150 US. They have been discussed on the huge E5-2670 v1 threads here and on STH Just received the PSU on the mail... I already have a EATX case that I'm planning to use (CK-1022, sold with different brands). The thing is that shipping outside the U.S. is usually very expensive for heavy items like a case. Got the EVGA 220-G2-0850-XR locally in 24hs at the same price I could have bought it from Amazon and have it delivered through a freight forwarder to Paraguay in 15 days, as this needed around 50 bucks for shipping. I'll take a look anyway at the case, thanks for the pointer.

dual E5-2670 are great for what you want, unless running 7x24 and if power consumption is an issue for you...

Well, for the record, I'm going with a dual E5-2670 combo from Natex. I still have doubts regarding power consumption.

I'm not going to add more disks for sure, GPU side is uncertain, I want to create VM for CAD and rendering, so might scale to 2, but might go to a single more powerful one. The thing is, over the years I've seen better ROI/CAPEX investments going with maximum configuration and doing a complete swap later, in 5 years all the components become either underpowered or inefficient by modern standards. Found this other PSU which supports PMBus, again way more expensive (1.2kw version reaches 300 dollars ): http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Modular-Digital-Platinum-Certified/dp/B00A0HZNDW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459088981&sr=8-1&keywords=AXi+860+PSU
