Hei guys am looking to build a 80 TB Unraid nas. I already am running a 16tb out of my old junk pc now is the time for more space and am looking to build a proper one this time. I need to know the hardware details needed to build a pc as such. Meaning i have watched few linus videos where he adds multiple hard discs on it. I wanna know how its is done and what are specific hardwares do i need to extend my hard drive beyond 6 numbers. Very much detailed help would be appreciated.

Am considering 12*8 drives too. Lets consider it as a 12*8. So how will u connect them some by direct sata and some from hba?

I have a full license man. So that ain't a problem but choosing the necessary hardware is confusing for me.

Thanks for the replies man. First of all this is india, I really have to look deeper to find specific parts. Cabinets and racks apart for now. My concern here at the moment is what the processor to buy and motherboard for max hard discs(30 in case of unraid) as we could someday use all the storage space available. we are constantly upgrading 4tb each month. so i want it to be scalable as well. HBA cards needs to be configured or its like a simple plug and play? The sole purpose of the server is for file management only. Also i have an added question, I have an unraid file server with 6 hard discs already. Is it possible to add a HBA card and extend the resources in the old server?

Its a plain file server. I won't be using anything than zerotier for remote access. Otherwise it's a complete storage unit for my office.

okie. got it. sorry guys. learned it.

I just moved my tower yesterday and it was well and working till then. But in the morning one of labour was trying to reach out for a file and it went missing he complained. I thought it could be a disc issue, I checked it actually is. So how do i solve it guys. I dont understand how it went that way, its a new disc too. Handled it very safe even when it was moved am sure that there are no physical damages happened, because i carried it myself.the disc was Bought like 1 month back. Now i am need in need of the file also its job critical. An urgent help would be very much helpful. tower-diagnostics-20180809-2239.zip

Anyways thanks a lot mate. You were a real saver for me. Let me update you there issue as such persists again.

could be i guess. But i usually make sure to shut down properly. Yeah!! I could ve missed it. Lets wait and see if it repeats.

and also may i know what wud have caused the issue ?? just to avoid in the future

Thanks mate. Life saver. It's there. What shall i do now ? do i have to do anything after this point?

No it hasn't mounted yet. ?

I think its done. still i dont see the start button here. Reloaded the window also. only reboot and power down appears.

okie how long does that take usually ? I mean how do i know if its finished.

I ran in maintenance mode. stopped to start the array. It stopped but i cannot start again. The buttons are gone now.

Am hoping there was nothing written during that period. Can you exactly drop the command i need to run here? Actual noob here

Sorry the first i have replaced the md3 instead of md4. Now have run it as md4. please check the image. The next step? I have loaded array in normal mode and the issue remains the same now.

Yeah done. and the drive remains unmountable.

Been on a budget guys Ran the command and it shows me this. I cannot understand what has been said in the text clearly. what am i supposed to do after this point ?

Hei guys am facing some similar issue. An urgent help is required.

Thanks a lot man. It's a time saver. Not sure how missed it all this time.

OMG!! It took me sometime to figure out this but I really have to say a big thank you that you have saved me finally. Been struggling with openvpn for so long(10months literally) and finally. Finally things fell into place with zerotier. Am so much relieved. My only concern is how much safe is this? My main work platform is this NAS if this goes down or the files go 'bye bye" that's the end of my business era. Just concerned of the security in this, except that am all in heavens now.

Am sorry for it, just that am exhausted. Looking for help anywhere.

Hei buddy I have been struggling with openvpn configuration for months (8 months) Not only because am a noob but also because am not able to find help. I tried zerotier but I don't find any tutors or easily understandable assistance. Can you please help? Wasted enough time already.
