  1. been running unraid for a couple of days. Everything is running as expected with minimal to zero configuration, ive been messing around with dockers so far but my array had been running smooth since day one, Im currently on my free trial but expecting to get a license soon. I plugged in a 8Gb kingston data traveler usb to the motherboard usb, a couple of sata drives, an old drive for cache (appdata for dockers mainly), 2 ethernet cables on lacp to my switch and thats it.
  2. done it, had to mess around with vlan ports configuration. IPMI and WOL working
  3. Im trying to set up WOL (no luck) or IPMI on this board but its been really difficult. First with WOL, the website says it has a WOL Header, but I cant seem to find anything on the board and no BIOS settings for it. IPMI, the thing is I can access using eth0, but after I shutdown the server, Im getting without access to the IPMI interface (Bios and IPMI drivers updated). I dont want to plug my ethernet to the IPMI port since I dont have spare bays on my switch. Anyone with this board has manage to accomplish this? (WOL or IPMI access on eth0)
  4. I need a server to work as NAS, Plex media server and to run home assistant through a docker container. So far I was thinking on this, due to the cheap components CPU: Xeon X3470 MOBO: Supermicro x8SIL-F RAM: 4x HYNIX HMT151R7BFR8C-G7 4GB 4Rx8 DDR3 PC3-8500R 1067MHz ECC NAS will have 3HDD + Cache <- This is the main reason for this server Plex media server: I don't even know what transcoding is used for, so far I can watch my movies I'm ok. Home assistant: nice to have. nothing so far, but nothing to fancy Will this be a proper build for my needs?
  5. Im planing on setup up a NAS with unraid and I want to work directly on some files inside a NAS, not sure if this is a good use case for this. So for example when editing a word file (just a software most ppl knows), a temp file is created, if the file is being edited is inside the NAS, where will this file be saved at? and what would be the case if using a cache drive? what would happend to the file after it has been save definitely, will it go through the cache again and replace the old file or will it be edited straight away? and if that’s the case, how does the parity check works here Is this a bad idea? to work directly on files inside a NAS? should I consider another option?
  6. What do you think about single mini sas at 6Gbps for the 4 drives? will it bottleneck?
  7. Hello, Im new into this, I wanted to build a standalone NAS to hold some data and maybe multimedia streaming, after watching some videos I came up with unraid and its ability to split my system into a NAS and a Gaming rig using the same hardware without losing gaming performance. Currently I have a gaming rig (9700k, ITX board on an Ncase M1) but because of my limitations (itx and case) having some extra disks inside would be a problem, so I came up with the idea on using a pcie adapter with a m.2 riser and using a raid card to connect a custom made external enclosure using some mini sas connector (I don’t even know if it’s gonna work). So my question is, given my setup and NAS requirements (2 hdd for data, 1 hdd for parity and 1 ssd for cache), is this possible? am I overthinking this an a usb 3.0 enclosure would do the job? I know usb 3.0 has the 5Gbps limitations, but mini sas has just 1Gbps more (6Gbps if using a raid controller), so I was thinking on using maybe 1 mini sas per 2 hdd.
