Another interpretation on the 15 drive limitation is 7 SATA connectors on the mobo plus 4 ports on each of 2 Promise controllers = 7=4+4 = 15. Though, you might be able to use the eSata port and a different cable to get that elusive 16th drive.

I have to quit buying these drives

I will let you know. I just sent my "unopened" drive back today. I used Visa to purchase, so shouldn't be much of a problem. Geordon

Can I say that? I have been monitoring UnRaid on AVS since last year, and after a hard drive crash with complete loss of data, decided I better do something. I love the Unraid idea of not striping, but still getting parity protection. I hadn't seen any new posts on the Official thread on AVS, so figured everything was going smoothly for folks. So I bought 4 400GB Seagate drives and ordered the USB Flash drive last weekend, which showed up a couple days after ordering. Now I see this thread and all kinds of issues with the current release. I can't afford to store 1TB+ of digital images and captured and edited digital video, just to have the system die without any vendor support. Before I buy a mobo and RAM, maybe I would be better to return my uninstalled USB drive and eat the restock fee and shipping. Has anyone tried to return a product to LimeTech for a refund? Geordon

I have been watching this deal all week. Finally bit the bullet and ordered 4 drives. Guess I need to get the USB Flash drive and a mobo, now.
