    Just updated to Version 6.12.3 2023-07-14.  Changed back to IPv4 + IPv6.  If it makes it a week, I'll consider it solved.

    It is now 6 days later, GUI back to being un-responsive.  I will need to switch IPv6 off again.

    Since upgrading to 6.12.x I have had a problem where after a day or two, the gui becomes unresponsive.  Will not even time out, browser just keeps acting like it is trying to open the gui page.  I just moved to IPv4 only to see if this helps, but that doesn't seem like a solve.  Looking for any pointers you may have.

    It has been a week since moving to IPv4 only and I still haven't experienced the problem with the gui.  So i believe this work-around solved the original problem.  Good thing I don't need IPv6 right now.

    The Enclosure Thread

    Hi All,

     

    I'm hoping this is a good place to post my question.  I'm relatively new to unraid and am somewhat technical.  I've been running an unraid/plex server for about 1.5yrs now and would like to upgrade from my current server and add a couple drives for a total of 6 drives.

     

    Basically I want to add HDDs and utilize a much newer processor/motherboard I already own for my unraid/plex server.  The current server has a 10+ year old processor and motherboard and the internal HDD controller is maxed out at 4 drives.  The current enclosure isn't made to host 4x3.5" drives, but it is doing OK.  Heat levels on my drives are hanging around 100 degrees give or take 5 degrees.

     

    My question is which option should I pursue?

     

    Current Config:

    Unraid 6.9.1

    Dell Studio D340

    Intel® Core™2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz

    4x4TB WD SATA HDDs

    Built-in HDD Controller that can host 4 drives

     

    New Option 1: (new enclosure)

    Re-purpose my Alien X51 R3 Mini-ITX Motherbooard

    Purchase Fractal Design Node 804

    Purchase 2 additional 4TB WD SATA HDDs

    Purchase LSI 8-port capable controller

     

    New Option 2: (utilize Alien Enclosure)

    Re-purpose my Alien X51 R3 machine as-is

    Purchase 2 Additional 4TB WD SATA HDDs

    Purchase LSI 8-port capable controller for use with external enclosure

    Purchase external HDD enclosure that can hold up to 8 drives

     

    Which option would you all pursue?  And if you have a preference on Option 2, which LSI controller and external HDD enclosures should I look at?  I'm not even sure if I should go with USB connection to the external enclosure or go with SAS ports.

     

    Any guidance is much appreciated.
