thank you ill check this out

hi all finally took the plunge and setup unraid on a test bed my old Qnap TS-469 Pro suprisingly its working better then expected once i removed the 512gb dom dongle unraid had zero issue starting and getting registered. heres what i was hopinhg to get help with i want to know is there a way to link my phone (Android) to backup to the unraid server? is there a docker with a android app i can use want to see if i can have my phone backed up at all times to the server. do i need to setup some kind of dns as well so its possible to backup the phone while im away at work? thank you all espeacily for the help with getting this up and running on this hardware next purchase will be when i deploy to the new 8x18tb 5700g amd server.

oddly i had to remake my unraid without uefi support to boot on my current x570 rig, thing is it worked with eufi itd see the drive it would show the boot menu to load the various unraid options but would go nowhere. had to actually disable secure boot enable csm and load the non uefi version to actually get past a blank screen.

i am suprised as i havent had issues *knock o nwood* with my current 5950x system handeling 128gb of ram 4x32gb at 3600mhz cl16. im about to power my Nas up soon and iv had this exact issue with intel based systems running just the os,plex, few shares, hoping i dont get this gremlin of a issue.

oh yeah seen the speeds of WD SMR mixed i fixed with software caching but not worth it. my 8 drives will all be the same Ironwolf Pro 16tb, and the others will be same tech CMR, i posted in another thread about the cooling duct and noticed the backplane for this case has both sata/molex do i need to power both to power up the drives?

as a new owner i can see the issues talked about with my case but another has stumped me maybe its in the manuel but do i power the backplane (8 hdds) with both sata and the molex? i will plug this direct into my raid card. (Holy Necro Sorry)

Ah ok makes sence i will have 4x6tb as data then later once data from old nas is copied over ill be adding 3 8tb i think ill assign one of the 8tb as a 2nd parity after the old nas has been copied over and everything checks out. or i could infact build it a with 16--8 Parity drives 4-6tb then 2-8tb later on once data is copied.

perfect been reading the docs after your suggestion i think ill run duel parity can i use use differnt sized parity for this or should i stick with same size 16tb?

i have 4 Noctua slim fans and some gentle typhoons planed as i was thinking this would be required. ill look for threads pertaining to this though thank you for the heads up i was going to just slap fans in there and prey now ill do it a more refined optimized way.

ok thank you i will go read through the docs and faqs section before i do this. also as i have this MB it only has 1 pcie which i plan on using my HBA . can i setup unraid with a gpu then continue from web later with all drives attached. my use is very minimal at start i dont plan on using vms ill tinker with game servers maybe down the line. im hoping to be able to start this unraid server with a 16tb,4x6tb, 2x1tb pcie gen 4 nvme then get the data copied onto this new server then add remaining drives from the itx build that currently houses 3x8tb soon as its all copied over. Process im hoping to do 1. setup unraid with gpu to point it'll let me remote in to add disks 2. add drives 16tb,4x6tb,2x1tb nvme 3,build storage pool 4, copy all data from current nas 5.add 3x8tb drives to pool 6. replace each non 16tb drive as they come in main use 1. media server for house 2. storing programs/games 3.backup central for all the pcs,phone, on network, hope this paints a clearer picture for the pros here as i build massive rigs to mini nuclear power plant rigs and i want to make sure i have a network Nas thats as high quailty as the rigs iv built.

hi all new to forum thought id come to the source to ask this question as i intend this to be my storage server for foreseeable future. here is my proposed build with parts i already have. 1. Silvertsone DS308B 2. Asus Strix gaming itx x570 3. Corsair LPX Vengence 2x32gb 3200mhz 4. AMD 9 5900x (5700g when they become available) 5. Corsair 750 Platuim 6. 8x 16TB Ironwolf Pro HDDs 7. 2x Sabrent Rocket 1TB (Cache) 8. Noctua NH-L9a Chromax 9. LSI 9207 8i (HBA) currently i only have the first 16tb drive i have more coming but i need to get this network up and running as the other jank nas's are just not reliable. i have the 16tb. i have 4 6tb and i have 3 8tb drives i wanted to know if this was a scenario anyone has come across. load the drives in this order 16tb, 4 6tb from old dying nas. build the pool with 2x1tb nvme ssds for caching. once this is all initialized and data is copied over to the new pool, pop in the other 3 8tb drives to expand the pool, then once the new 16tb drives arrive pop them out 1 at a time doing the rebuild/re-silver as they start to arrive. sorry if this seems like im all over the place this is my first full NAS focused build all my other itx builds have been gaming desktops or low power office rigs. thank you again for any assistance with this build ill answer any questions if it'll help clarify anything.

Hey everyone I been around the forums and everyone is pointing to unraid as my Os to use for my Nas/Htpc. Hardware is as follows. 1. Intel i7 4960x 2.32gb DDR3 Corsair Platinum Dominador 2400 3.intel Dx79sr motherboard 4.lsi 9270 CV-8i 1vb cache + cachecade pro 5.4x14TB Seagate iron Wolf hdds 6.512gb Samsung 850 Pro SSD 7.850w Seasonic Ultra Titanium PSU I was wondering if it's possible to use the Raid card with unraid merely for the caching with SSD and cachecade? Itll host my networks files need to be able to access from Linux/Win 10 and stream to Kodi via Nvidia Sheild 2017 model. I'll add in a 2.5/10gb nic as well if it'll be supported otherwise it'll remain the 1gb port.
