  1. Hi, Hope my question is okay in this thread. I am building a new compact Unraid box, as a much needed upgrade to my old one. Will be use an Intel i3-12100 with an ASUS PRIME H610I-PLUS D4 mother board. This board only has 4 SATA ports, so was planning to expand this to a total of 8 using a 4 port pcie - Asmedia ASM1064 - this one specifically if important: https://www.delock.com/produkt/90010/merkmale.html Everything is on the way to me, but suddenly I am in doubt if when using this pcie card, the sata ports on the motherboard will be disabled - leaving me with just the 4 sata ports on the expansion card now? If that is the case - would using a sata expansion card in the m2 slot be the way to go instead? Thanks
  2. Would SATA 2 speeds still be okay for cache use you'd think? I've found a fair bit of 2.5" caddies for the DVD slot, at quite low prices on eBay - could very much be an option!
  3. Would anyone have any experience with something like this as a cache disk? https://www.ivobeerens.nl/2015/12/14/4131/
  4. The DVD tray it is then! Would you have suggestions connection-wise? This is my first server, so I do indeed have silly questions. Thanks for helping out!
  5. I just got my Dell R710 up and running with unRaid (getting the H200I into IT mode caused a bit of headaches). Everything is humming along nicely now, and currently building the parity. However I want to add a SSD cache disk, but I'm not entirely sure what is best practice here? I'd like not to use one of the 3.5" hotswap bays for this, so the unused DVD bay might be an option here? Anyone with experience in regards to this - or maybe someone with even better suggestions? I'm rather new in regards to searching on this forum, so maybe I've missed the answer - my apologies if that is the case. Thanks in advance.
