  1. Now you just need to get the rest to 14 TB and you'll be on your way to .5!
  2. Doesn't the PSU come with the case, as in, 45Drives made sure of this?
  3. Actually to be fair, one of the best bits of mass was in the third one. That DLC where you were running around the citadel with your entire party and fighting your own clone. That had real bioware magic. (and Boo!) Personally Baldurs Gate series trumps ME for sheer storytelling. Isometric is so underrated. I haven't even bothered with Andromeda just out of sheer disappointment.
  4. I believe he mentioned using Storinators. Clearly falcon, other than a good taste in games (at least the two out of three) has seen too much Linus Tech Tips. https://www.45drives.com/products/storage/
  5. If I may suggest something; try running it trough WD Lifeguard and do an erase and then a full extended test. Try it again after that. I've had success in repurposing "failed" drives for my backup box this way. One has been running another few years since 'failing' originally. I just don't take any chances with my production server. I dunno, it's just worked for me a lot, and it's only like 12-14 hours to run it through in an external dock.
  6. Try reseating them first. Usually if you buy memory you buy a pair. I'd recommend getting a new pair in this case. Otherwise, test them one at a time if you can live with half capacity. I would not recommend buying "similar" memory and dropping it in, as that has been known to cause weird issues.
  7. Could it simply be someone who is trying to run some dockers online and fucked up their NAT settings? I don't view UNRaid as something a complete novice would get in to, but I don't understand how one can screw up this bad, either.
  8. Please tell me it's a USB 2.0 drive and that you will now plug it in two a USB 2.0 port.
  9. I figured, with those amounts of data it's almost the only use-case. (Extreme film-collection not withstanding..)
  10. I just have to say, I am glad you're using this in a business context, as you were making me incredibly envious.
  11. This particular subforum is surprisingly quiet. Frankly since I'm sitting here configuring a back up server in UNRaid using the LEAST usable drives, it doesn't really matter. (Seagate Archive drives..) Looking at your capacities I'd say get one very large drive for parity, say a ten terrabyte drive, and then just throw all the drives you want to keep in rotation in as the remainder of the array. Consider adding second parity when you can, and then just replace the drives as they fail with higher capacity or not, as you prefer. Also - I highly recommend getting some SSD's for anything that you will be running on the server, like services or VM's. That stuff should only run on SSD's for optimal performance, and you'll probably want two so you can raid1 them. Just a thing to consider.
  12. Looks like the latter one would be supported out of the box, too. Really just need a confirmation either way so I don't make a costly mistake, as the import duties on items from China is not something to laugh about here. Anyone. https://www.ebay.com/itm/LSI-SAS-9210-8i-8-port-6Gb-s-PCIe-RAID-SATA-Controller-card-2pcs-SFF-8087-cable/192859683728?hash=item2ce7553b90:g:UIcAAOSwvQdcjM2C
  13. Hi all. I'm running the ASRock Rack C2750D4I on my primary system, and I'm currently in the process of setting up a second unraid box to replace my zyxel NAS for backup duty, as I wanted to use resilio sync. Good news, is that there's another unraid license, right there. Anyway, the backup box came with a small raid card that gives a whopping 1.5GBPS for four channels in a standard PCI slot - which got me thinking, that I've long been given hints that I really should do something about my marvell controller addiction on my main server. So here's what the manual says about the various slots and ports: PCIE slot: PCIE1 (PCIE 2.0 x8 slot) is used for PCI Express x8 lane width cards. SATA Controller C2750D4I / C2750D4I+: Intel® C2750 : 2 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s, 4 x SATA2 3.0 Gb/s Additional SATA Controller - Marvell SE9172: 2 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s, support RAID 0, 1 - Marvell SE9230: 4 x SATA3 6.0 Gb/s, support RAID 0, 1, 1 My current configuration is: 6 hard drives in 2x4 bay hot-swap bays. Two SSD's / 256GB for cache/appdata. As you can clearly see, this layout wouldn't be possible without dipping my toes in to the marvell controllers. My plan is using this: https://www.ebay.com/c/150983775 together with these cables: https://www.computersalg.dk/i/433519/lsi-ata-sas-kabel-4-lane-36-pin-4i or https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Perc-H310-SATA-SAS-HBA-Controller-RAID-6Gbps-PCIe-x8-8087-SATA-Cable/153212029835?_trkparms=aid%3D1110001%26algo%3DSPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D40719%26meid%3Dd439da0870f04b4c94b18b9213a60e8b%26pid%3D101072%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D12%26sd%3D142020669585%26itm%3D153212029835%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2546172&_trksid=p2546172.c101072.m2109 since it's a complete kit... or, again, https://www.ebay.com/itm/LSI-SAS-9210-8i-8-port-6Gb-s-PCIe-x8-HBA-RAID-SATA-Controller-card-M1015-9211-8I/142676057533?_trkparms=aid%3D1110001%26algo%3DSPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D40719%26meid%3Dd439da0870f04b4c94b18b9213a60e8b%26pid%3D101072%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dpp%26sd%3D142020669585%26itm%3D142676057533%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2546172&_trksid=p2546172.c101072.m2109 this one, if it's better performing or something, together with aforementioned cables. That would provide the eight S-ATA slots I require if I want to populate all my HDD bays. I would then use the two Intel 6Gb/s slots for the SSD cache. Is this viable? Any better alternatives?
  14. Just to chime in, I just tried the tool on both a verbatim and a kingston USB device, 4 and 16 gigs respectively. Both failed. The Verbatim one even had weird chinese character write errors. Formatted it manually, named it UNRAID & ran the manual setup, worked without a hitch on the Verbatim that I actually wanted to use. The download page needs some work, as there are no instructions available for the manual setup... and as it stands, it kinda feels like the "tool" offering is causing more of a problem than a benefit to new people.
  15. Ah, so I'd have to get the SAS card and a s-ata breakout cable if I wanted to go this route?
  16. Sorry to awaken this again.. Availability of this case near-zero. Looks like it has airflow issues too. Considering just swapping out the drive bays instead, for this: https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=605&area=en Am I understanding it correctly, that I can use either S-ATA connectors or SAS? Here's the amazon listing for it; https://www.amazon.de/dp/B019HE69FO/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2M5PYT35WPB8S&keywords=fs305&qid=1575766363&sprefix=FS305%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1
  17. Yes, I only plan on using those drives - thanks for the heads up! I agree that price is much more eco-friendly. (as in economy)
  18. This looks about right: https://www.computersalg.dk/i/1506947/supermicro-sas-internt-kabel-sas ? So two cables if I get the Silverstone case, and good to go? You mentioned the chipset should be in IT mode, what does that mean exactly?
  19. I was planning on using the LSI part for the 8 hot-swap bays, and use on-board SATA 3 for my dual SSD cache. Any particular care that needs to be taken when upgrading, or can one just chuck it in and expect it to install and be good to go? What kind of cabling does this require? Cheers, Johnnie.
  20. Alright. Then the only issue seems to be, that my motherboard only has a pci-e 2.0 port. Will that have any drawbacks, or will this card not suffer any bottlenecking from this? It's quite an expensive part, so if I'm going to be bottle-necking, maybe I should instead be looking at a new mainboard/cpu too.
  21. AFAICT something like this would fit the bill, then? https://www.computersalg.dk/i/1311729/lsi-sas-9300-8i-sgl-lagringskontrol I've zero experience with this type of thing.
  22. Hi all Running the Avoton 8core SOC from ASRock Rack with 12 onboard S-ATA ports (Intel/Marvell). https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C2750D4I#Specifications This config has been reported as being problematic. I recently shelled out for two new drive cages but I'm not happy with the performance, not to mention the cable spaghetti inside the case. The system has been somewhat unstable since I made the switch, so I think it might be time to invest myself out of it. Either it's the combined intel/marvell controllers in use, or it's the hot-swap cages. Either way, something has to give. I've finally found my dream case, a Silverstone: https://www.servethehome.com/silverstone-cs381-review/ Quoted: "Connectivity to the drives is provided via two SFF-8643 ports. That means one can use 12G SAS3 as well as SATA III." What kind of card would I be wise to invest in, for my UnRaid setup, if I just want something that works and don't want to fiddle around with anything. I'm applying KISS here to avoid any hassle. Getting Sata III for all drives is a nice add-on too. Thanks in advance for your advice.
  23. Came here for this.. Running nginx proxy manager to serve nextcloud.. do I need to take any action other than update when available? I'd rather not mess around with the core config files. I guess I can always take it offline until a fix is available.
  24. I've just tried it and it appears to be working.. although I usually don't go for RC's. 🙂 Trusting ya here, Squid Actually scratch that. It's slightly improved, but not gone.
