  1. Sorry, I'm quite a newb. Can you recommend a specific 8-port LSI and SAS expander? I'm concerned if I get an unsupported model, I'll have compatibility issues (which drove me nuts previously with drives keep dropping out randomly)
  2. Do you have any particular recommendation? Only found 8 port LSI boards, but a single card with 24 port support would be ideal
  3. I’m repurposing an old server for unraid. The drives range from 2 to 8tb, are are in a 24bay norco enclosure. Speed doesn’t matter much since it’s mostly for media archive. I currently run raid 5 from a 3ware 9650se card. Should I get something else? If so what? Thanks!
  4. I noticed that the disks for my VMs are located in a "mnt" directory. But where do I actually find this folder? It's not listed in the "shares" tab. And more importantly, can I move this afterwards if I get an SSD?
  5. It's been a while since I've done anything like this, so pardon my ignorance. But as far as I can remember, the 9650SE was controlled by a web interfaced, and I had to install a software package in order to access this. So how would it work with unRaid?
  6. Is there something more ideal you'd recommend for the RAID controller? I don't need anything too complicated, as I have a Synology NAS already. I just want to be able to put these old spare drives to use at a fairly good speed for media storage
  7. I have an old server chassis (the Norco 4224) and an RAID card (3ware 9650SE). I have hard drives of a bunch of different sizes. About 17x 2TB and a whole bunch of 4TB, 6TB, and 2x 8TB. Can I string these together as an unRaid server? Or would they be incompatible.
