  1. I'm planning to build a Ryzen Unraid. I just have one question : Do you have any return about ECC Ram ? Thanks
  2. Thanks for your anwser @Zonediver and @tdallen. @tdallen yes this is exactly what I want to do, so it's possible but with not backup during this operation. This is probably ok, since I can copy all the important data to USB drive (maybe 2TB of data). Thank's everybody for your support !
  3. Thanks for all the anwsers. So to clarify just a bit @Zonediver , i have for now an old synology NAS with 4x3TB drive. My plan was to move the data from the Synology to the Ryzen build (which will have a single 8TB drive, for data. So no parity drive) And After, format the 4x3TB drive, put then into the Ryzen build. When tha't done, I want to change the 8TB to be the parity drive intead of data drive. And set the 4x3TB drives to be data drive. I don't now if it's more clear @burtjr Thank's for your reply and yes I already follow this thread and I'm sur all of the problem will be corrected when I want to move (maybe in 6 months or so ...)

  4. Hello everyone, I have a question for my future NAS. I will buy a complete new system base on Ryzen (with 1 Drive 8TB), and I would like to know if my plan can be done. Build the Ryzen System without parity drive Transfert all my data (arround 7TB) Format all my old drives (basicaly 4x3TB WD Red Drive) and put the synology into retirement Put then into the Ryzen build Configure unraid to use the 8TB drive for single parity and 4x3TB drive for storage And the big question is about the last point, can it be done ? Thanks for your help PS : English is not my native language, sorry if I made mistakes Jack
  5. oh ok, I see what you've mean @ashman70. So i will need to buy two 8TB hard drive and one extra 3TB hard drive. And with that, no data loss even if a hard drive failed. It's a good option I was thinking about unplug one of the four 3TB hard drive and plug it to the unraid array and do the transfer but in "degraded mode" on the synology I think I will probably go with @tdallen sollution and if this is not working I will go with your solution Yes 16GB is probably not enough, I plan to buy juste one stick at the start and add more in the future. Yep I just thought about GPU and stuff passthough. But how can I check if the motherboard can do that ? I was planning to buy an asus X99 ws/ipmi motherboard
  6. Thanks for your answer. For @ashman70, that is an idea. And yes you are right, I am using an raid5 array So for the transfer state, I will have 8TB parity hard drive & 8TB hard drive + 3TB hard drive. For sur it will work, but one thing I am afraid of is if one hard drive failed on my synology during the transfer, I loose all my data For @tdallen, that's more what I have thought. I was presuming that was the case but we never know And yes it's a pretty powerfull processor. I planning to run a plex server, have a openelec VM for kodi or something like this, one or two Windows VM, a bluray ripping machine and play with all awesome dockers & plugins. Maybe this Xeon is overkill, but I prefer to be future-proof Many thanks
  7. Hello, I've got an old DS411J Synology NAS (4x3TB Wd Red Drive) and it's pretty slow and boring. So an planning to switch to Unraid. I'm thinking to build something like this : Xeon E5 2620V4 X99 motherboard 16Gb of RAM Silverstone GD07 Case For the hard drive I am planning to use the 3TB WD Red Drive, which i've got. And buy some new in order to have more space. My question is pretty simple, how can I transfer my data from the synology to unraid ? My option : - Buy two 8 TB Red drive and make an array - Transfer the 7TB of data from the DS411J to unraid - Install the 4TB hard drives and add those to the 8TB array But I don't know if the last line is possible ? Can we add hard drive to an array composed by only two drives ? Thanks a lot By the way, sorry for my English I'm French
