ECC support would be beneficial Not fussed on what cpu but I have looked at the Asus w680 pro that has a thread on it My case is the Lian Li d8000 that can support 20 hard drives so making that many drives fit isn’t an issue at all

So it seems it might be time for me to replace my motherboard and cpu as they are starting to be flaky. I am after a motherboard that can handle to HBA's (at the moment I have 2 cards that can handle 8 drives each but one would probably be swapped to handle more) So need a reliable board that will take HBA's with no hassles, CPU one that can have onboard GPU/ APU hopefully and stability. Any suggestions would be appreciated and happy to look at server / workstation boards as I will have probably up to 20 drives in my server (at 14 at the moment)

Both my current power supplies are in the b tier or better and 700w +

Yep aware of that, time to go into some hardware diagnosis unfortunately

ok i managed to get all that done successfully, does unRAID 7.x have some power saving options ? If not it seems my power supply has died as well or is on its way out

Hi My USB Flash Drive has completely failed I was lucky to copy the contents over several months ago when I saw that it was starting to play up so have it copied to my laptop as folder structure. The drive was only 512MB so was running 6.5.3 i think and the latest versions are version 7.0 What is the best method for me replacing my USB drive please any help will be very much appreciated

In my old retired xeon e3-1220 (maybe 1225) v2 I had 32gb In this new and current server with e5-2697 v3 I have 64gb and hoping to upgrade to 128gb

Oh ok so can I expand the size of the parity drive before I do the conversion so I have a larger drive to attach to the array ?

Ok guys this will be my situation as the screenshot follows And I will be adding another 2TB and then wanting to convert the rest of the driver to XFS including the parity so I can use dual parity further down the line Can anyone be of any help

Yep on Australia newegg they are $333 AUD.

I am currently running 5.0.5 should this method work for me ?

Hey there is their any people who are willing to sell preflashed cards ? As I am not to confident in doing it ?

32GB ECC in mine

If you have a Mac Pro from that era why not try it ? And I am gathering that it has intel in them ? Also unRAID 6 only has support for x64 cpu's now.

I have searched this thread and I am still confused but where can I download the files for h310 firmware and instructions so i can see its post to enter the utility if needed

I am not 100% sure but it looks like both of them are multy-Rail PSU based on everything I read so far you are better off with a single-Rail PSU. I do see many posters here with multi-rail PSU however and most of them seams to work, so good luck. if you are not set on modular PSU check this one out "http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0358411" it is made by OCZ , my rebate came from them. maybe you can find a good deal on this one as well. Microcenter is currently running a special on this one for 89.99 and the rebate is still good untill 12/4/2011 like I said $70.00 for 760W 80 Silver Plus certified is not bad. a heads up though: #1 it is NOT modular #2 have lots of cables, and cables are very stiff. all cables are sleeved in black mesh and very very stiff. other then that I love this PSU. Since I can't locate that in Australia I might go for the Corsair TX-650

Hey just out of curiousity I am build a 12 Drive unRAID server and I am looking at either this http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_1110&products_id=18247 or http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_305&products_id=12402 power supplies. Should they be enough power I am only intending to ever use 12 drives and a PCI video card.
