Hi, thanks for the reply. I don't know why Asus designed the Z590i like they did. It would of been better if I had a Z490i or B550i for a 10th gen processor. I currently am using my old I7-11700K that I had in my desktop before I upgraded. I want to replace it because I think it's overkill and wasting power. However, I don't think losing a slot will be an issue. The PCIe x16 slot is being used by a LSI card to connect my hard drives and the four onboard SATA slots for my SSD cache drives. I also purchased this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BDYJVQ18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I hope this will allow me to use the M.2_2 slot for my 10GB SFP+ 4x PCIe card with a m.2 to PCI x4 adapter. I'm currently using this in the M.2_1 slot which will be disabled when I swap out the CPU. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C79YLD9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, is there a big difference between the I3-10105T and the I3-10100T. I purchased the I3-10105T. It appears to be a newer model with 8MB of L3 Cache instead of 6MB however still listed at 25W TDP and not 65W TDP like the non-T version. Thanks again to everyone for the help and suggestions. David

Hi, I have 3 2TB Samsung 870 Evos

Ok great, thanks.

Hi, I'm looking at building a new Unraid server and want to use a low power as I can. I was looking at getting a i3-10100T or i5-10400t. Is this CPU power enough or do I need the regular 65W versions? I plan on running: LSI Controller for x6 HDDs x3 SSDs on the motherboard 1x SFP+ 10GB NIC Docker containers: Plex NextCloud PiHole No VMs I'll be using a Asus Z590i. I know it's overkill for a I3 but I was able to get a really good deal on it 🙂 Thanks for any suggestions on this CPU and if the 25-35W version of the 10th gen I3 or I5 will be able to handle this configuration. David

Thanks! That did the trick. David

Hi, I am using the latest version of Unraid. For some reason, it will not reboot unless I remove the USB, go into the BIOS, put it back in the USB, and select "continue and restart". It does not matter if I plug the 16GB Sandisk USB drive in a USB 2.0 or 3.0 slot. This happens to me on both a Gigabyte X570 and an Asus Z590 motherboard. If any buddy could give me any ideas of what causes this, I'll be very grateful. Thank you! David

It turned out to be the cables. Thanks for the link and suggestion!

I was able to test the card on a X570 motherboard and modify the CMS settings in the BIOS. I was able to see the card POST and the hdd drives being detected. I ordered the cables from the link you sent me and hopefully that will help. Thanks again! David

Ok, do you know what I need to do to get Unraid to detect the drives or it will not be possible? Thanks again for help. David

I think I found the issue. The Intel® 500 series chipset does not support UEFI VBIOS graphic card, hence the integrated graphics mode does not support legacy boot and CSM option becomes non-configurable. Dos the BIOS card have to be in legacy mode? The issue is I'm using an ITX board so the only pcie slot is either a discrete graphics card or the LSI card. David

Hi, I recently purchased a "9207-8i PCIE3.0 6Gbps HBA LSI FW:P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID 2* SFF-8087 US" card to use with Unraid. After installing the card I added one 8TB Red Pro drive to with the breakout sata cables. I'm not seeing the card POST when turning on my server or see the 8TB drive in the BIOS or in Unraid. Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks in advance for any help I do see the card in "System Devices" Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS2308 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-2 (rev 05) I also have two 1 tb nvme drives that are on the motherboard.

Hi, I purchased a sas9207-8i Storage Controller on eBay for my UnRAID server. After I connect my drives (2x WD Red 10GB, 2x8 WD Red, and two 1GB SATA SSD Drives), two of the drives were not detected. When I reconnect all of them to SATA ports on the motherboard, it couldn't detect the SSD at all, and one of the 10GB Red drives status says "Data error (cyclic redundancy check). I also ran a few scans on the drive, and all say 100% bad blocks. Both drives work perfectly before connecting them to the controller. Do you know what I did wrong and cause this to happen? Could the Storage Controller cause this to happen? I would not like this to happen again, and not sure if I should reconnect the drives or just buy a new controller? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! David

Hi, thanks for the info! I'll go with the 16gb drive. David

Hi, I purchased two USB 2.0 Sandisk Cruzer Glide flash drives. One is 16GB and the other is 32GB. Which one would be better to use with Unraid? Thanks! David

Thanks for the reply. I could no longer see the three disk with GParted after I connected the drives directly to two different motherboard with two different PSUs with their onboard SATA ports. Since the drives are no longer detected I can't see the partitions. I even tried an external powered USB bay. Unraid can still able to see the remaining disks connected to the SAS card. If the SAS card was configured correctly could it corrupt the partions? I can get that maybe moving around the WD Red mechanical drive could cause damage to it but the SSDs shouldn't really have any issues. Thanks again. David

Hi, I installed a LSI SAS 9211-8i PCIe card to be used with Unraid. After installing seven drives, three of them (1x 8GB WD Red and 2x512GB SSD) are no longer can be detected. I attached each drive one at a time to different desktops using the onboard motherboard SATA ports. After booting up with Parted Magic and GParted on each desktop, they are still no longer being detected. Did I permanently damage these drives? If so, could you tell me what I did to cause this to happen? Could the SAS PCie be responsible? Is there anyway to recover this disks? Thanks David

Thanks for the info! I didn't know UnRAID had these different options. David

Hi, I have two 500GB Cache drives. Unraid tells me I have 500GB of usable space in the pool. If I add a 3rd 500GB will that give me 1TB of space or still 500GB? Thanks. David

Hi, I currently am using two older 500GB SATA SSDs for my cache drive. I recently purchased a WD 1TB 750 Black NVMe and I also already have another 1TB 750 Black NVMe I purchased a few months ago. Currently I was going to use one the NVMe drives to install VMs and Docker containers. Is it worth still using the 500GB SATA SSDs if I use the 1TB 750 Black NVMe drives as both cache and storage for VMs/Dockers? I only have 3 VMs and 3 Docker containers using about 300GB in total. Any help will greatly be appreciated. Thanks! David

Hi, I a desktop a I9-9900K and a RTX 2080 (non-super). I purchased a AMD Ryzen 3900X and motherboard for a UnRAID Server. After looking at both setups I don't know which CPU I should use for my desktop and which one for UnRAID. On the UnRAID Server I plan to run a couple of VMs and a couple of dockers. If anyone could tell me which CPU I should use which I would be greatly appreciated. I keep going back and forth. Both setup has 64GB DRR4 3600Mhz of RAM. Thanks! David

Hi, I am looking at purchasing the Corsair H100i RGB Pro or PLATINUM AIO. I'm not sure how difficult use it's software in a Unraid VM. Is it possible to boot into a Windows OS on my server on a separate SSD, setting everything up with the iCUE software and reboot into Unraid? I am wondering if the settings for the fan curves and LEDs get saved and will run with the saved settings. Thanks. David

Yes I think I'm going to go that route. Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the info! It was worth a shot.

Hi, I have a Asrock X570 Prime motherboard and a AMD 3900X CPU. If I setup 2x 500GB NVMe SSDs in RAID 1 in the BIOS will Unraid detect it? I would like to store VMs on an unassigned device and not worry about space issues on the cache drives. Thanks! David

Hi, I have an extra ZOTAC GeForce GT 710 1GB DDR3 PCIE x 1 card. Is there any advantages to attach it to a VM in Unraid? I am curious if will speed up the GUI in VNC or Splashtop. Thanks! David
