Mellanox ConnectX cards that support DDR Inifiniband (20gigE) does unraid 6.8.3 support infiniband yet? If not what are the steps to enable ethernet mode and at what speed would ethernet mode be?
Thanks
I am running a Fujitsu D2607-A21 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI 9211-8i controller and have this little fan attached to the heatsink. My understanding is LSI 9211-8i controller cards run hot. Is the fan keeping it cool or does this card not run that hot?
I am looking at build my unraid server I have all co components but for the processor.
I will be mostly serving files and backing up files over 10 gb ethernet.
Athlon 220GE, Amd 3200G, or a R5 2600 with a GT 710. Don't have any plans to run vms as I have a workstation with a R9 3900X.
So far for hardware I have a
Asrock B450m Pro 4 motherboard
16 gb XPG Gammix D10 3000MHz got it cheap
Psu
Fractal Node 804
10 gb ethernet card
2 6 terabyte hard drives 1 for parity.
My thoughts are a 220GE and upgrade later on if I need more power. Though will the 220GE limit the transfer speeds?
Thanks
I am looking at some Mellanox ConnectX-2 MHRH2A-XSR 10GB cards one for my unraid server and one for my desktop. These are supported by unraid out of the box? Also If I have 1 in my server 1 in my desktop can I connect them together for faster transfer speeds from my desktop to my server? Then use a 1 GB ethernet to our regular network for other PCs on our network to access the unraid server?
Also what cord will I need to connect the Mellanox ConnectX-2?
Thanks
I have the same power supply, originally had a Ryzen 2700X, 1 GTX 1080, and one GTX 1070 (was mining) plus about 4 hard drives and now have upgraded to a RTX 2070, Ryzen 3900X and still no problems.
I am thinking of building an unraid server with:
Asrock b450m pro 4 Amd 3200G Fujitsu lsi raid card flashed 8 gb ddr 4 ram 10 gb ethernet Fractal Node 804 500 gb sata ssd or nvme for cache
I am not sure what power supply yet thinking of the Antec 380 greenwatt or a corsair cx450 watt. I might have a vm or two for testing.
I will start with 2 6 terabytes of hard drive 1 for parity one for data.
Do I need to use Nas hard drives?
Is every hard drive I add seen as its own drive on the network?
Would a 500 gb sata drive or nvme be better? I plan on writing 200 + gigabytes every week as I do video editing. Do I need two in raid 1?
Thanks
