  1. Is it random which drive you get? Never tried this method before.
  2. I’ve only used it a little bit so far, but the general ease of use and GUI I think are excellent. More security features would be what I would like added.
  3. Hello all, I currently have a Synology 415+ with a mixture of 3-8TB WD Red's. I'm planning to switch over to unRAID as I've tinkered a little with it ages ago and it seemed great. I will be serving Plex content to 1-2 clients, backing up multiple computers and probably running a couple of dockers. I'm trying to not spend crazy amounts and I want a cool & quiet system. Here's what I'm looking to order: Case - Node 804 CPU/GPU - Ryzen 3 2200G Motherboard - Asrock B450M Pro4 (Not sure if MSI B450M Mortar is worth extra?) RAM - Team Vulcan 2x4GB 3000mhz DDR4 Storage - 2xPNY 240GB SSD's (1 for unRAID cache/1 for Plex Data). WD Red's will be transferred in from my Synology for actual storage. PSU - be quiet! Pure Power 11 500w Gold Cooling - 10xArctic F12 PWM 120mm fans for the case running at low RPM. Possibly Cryorig M9a for APU to lower noise. What do you think? This will cost me a touch under £500 which seems reasonable for me considering I spent more than that on the GPU in my gaming PC. Any idea on what fan hub/controller I should get for the x10 case fans? And since the motherboard only has 4 sata ports, I'll need to buy a PCIe sata card right? Any advice on which one? Never bought one before. Thanks in advance!
  4. Hello guys, running on 4.7, can't access the web interface, I've tried using the name (hpmicroserver) and also the IP (168.192.0.6), any idea's? Not sure if this has anything to do with my newish Netgear router, still not figured out how to set static IP. Thanks!
  5. Sorry for the late reply my Mac has been down. Just wanted to update that after changing router (wanted wireless N+ for the house), it has no longer been dropping and the speeds are up to where they should be...must have been something wrong with the saved IP or something with the old one. So far so good
  6. Hello mate, does a HP Microserver have a screensaver when all it has on it is unRAID? Wouldn't it need an OS for that? I just restarted the unit via the WebUI, it had problems rebooting, it came up with: 'Boot failed, continue to look for Boot media' Edit - Picture
  7. Hello there, I guess I'm just running whatever the standard NIC is for the HP Proliant server? In the router I've set the IP address to static, so hopefully that's that part done at least. Edit - Also wondering if there's any sort of clue in that at least some of the times it goes down, the screen for the server is completely blank...must be a reason for that?
  8. Any further suggestions please? Still have a server which is no use for anything but short periods of time
  9. I connected to the Router with the IP address but can't find how to make a permanent reservation. I connect to Server UI via IP or name of server, but right now it's dropped whilst transferring a film and I can't connect to it via IP nor server name. Edit - And switched over to the VGA port on my TV (which is what the server runs through), and the screen was just black, nothing showing at all, had to do hard shut down.
  10. Thanks, I can't find any way of doing this though? Argh, whilst typing I was transferring small 2GB file to server, I can't connect to the server GUI even though the file is transferring correctly...(I have it bookmarked on Safari so I just click refresh but it can't find it even though the server is fine). Don't want to manual shut down the thing Edit - Phew, managed to get it via IP address.
  11. Sorry about the slow response been working a lot! Here's a picture of my settings through the GUI. Clicky
  12. This is what my router settings currently look like, thanks.
  13. I have no idea how to make a permanent reservation on the router. How can I check if I'm using SMB or not please, as I'll go do that now for you and report back. Again not sure how to check if local master is set to 'yes'. As for the workgroup, I have it as 'unRAID' in the browser menu, how do I change it for the client please? Sorry for all the newbie questions and thanks for your help!
  14. Hello guys, back again for more help, I'm still new to all this server stuff so have been encountering problems, the problems being dropped connection, extremely slow transfer speeds, and sometimes not finding the server. My setup is as follows.... - 2011 Mac mini running Lion 10.7.2 - HP Proliant NL36 Microserver running unRAID 4.7 - TP Link 5 port Gigabit switch - o2 Wireless router I'm pretty sure I have settings wrong somewhere since I'm a newbie with server stuff, if you want me to take pictures of anything like my network settings etc just say, I've just went into router settings and set the server to static IP as I've heard that helps some. Here's a link to the log, thanks.
  15. Doh you were right! Put the cable from Mac>switch and running at around 40mb/s now, very happy indeed! Thanks guys!
