Yes trurl I would indeed appreciate it if you could split my post here into another thread. 😉 (It's 1 pm here in Melbourne Australia!) 🦘

Jorge - you have me a little worried now as I was about to build a new Unraid server based on a spare AMD 5700X cpu with an Asrock X570 motherboard I have. This is the first time I have heard this comment about Ryzen controllers. 🤔

Seems that 6.12.x now is the minimum requirement for CA. I was planning to wait until 6.13, but I guess it's time to upgrade. 🙄

1. Your new parity must be a 20TB drive. 2. I preclear all new drives I put in my array. It's optional - but recommended. 3. Assuming the 18TB drives are working ok, it hardly seems worth all the trouble going from 18TB to 20TB.

All users are encouraged to upgrade. ( ljm42 ) Release notes: https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.12.4/

https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/prereleases/unraid-os-version-6124-rc19-available-r2651/ If you are already on 6.12.4-rc18 this should be a simple update, no need to change any settings. If you are coming from an earlier release please see the 6.12.4-rc18 announce post for info on how to solve macvlan issues and other changes. [ ljm42 ]

Ed does mention his new computer with the Intel i5-13600K cpu at the 30 min 32 sec point in the above Unraid Tipping Point video. 😇

Ed said in the video above that he is now running Unraid on his new Intel i5-13600. You can check out the video below where he discusses his choice.

https://www.extremetech.com/computing/ssds-wont-replace-spinning-hard-drives-in-data-centers-any-time-soon-report The impending demise of spinning rust storage devices has been greatly exaggerated, at least according to one new forecast. This further analysis says that hard drives will continue to dominate the data center where total cost of ownership (TOC) is paramount, at least until 2028.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUXOiNRfD0w The technology behind hard drives has evolved RAPIDLY! In just the last few years we have seen HDDs hit over 20 terabytes, seen the number of platters being squeezed into a single hard drive casing reach more than 10 and the performance and durability of these drives somehow continue to improve too! Still, one area that we have seen very little change in over the years is the price per terabyte of most HDDs. Despite the range of capacities available from most HDD brands (Seagate, WD, Toshiba, etc), the cost of the latest and largest HDDs still maintains a hefty price tag, whilst the smaller capacity drives (still broadly keeping their lower price point) are more readily available, occasionally on offer and this leads alot of data storage buyers to ask themselves - Is it better to buy a small number of MASSIVE hard drives or a larger number of SMALLER HDDs? Thanks to modern development and efficient evolution of RAID (redundant array of independent disk) management in NAS and DAS systems*, alongside storage enclosures now ranging from as little as 2 Bay desktop case scale all the way upto 24-60 Bay rackmounts, it is actually quite easy to achieve the same amount of capacity of a handful of 'max capacity' drives with a smaller cluster of more affordable smaller drives. So, today I want to look into the benefits/downfalls of either setup and hopefully help you decide whether you need to opt for bigger or smaller hard drives in your data storage setup in 2023 onwards.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4CkJbUlkVM Is UNRAID or TRUENAS the ULTIMATE Home NAS? We are going to find out today as we evaluate UNRAID 6.12.1 and TrueNAS 22.12.3.1 in a battery of tests and score the results. We evaluate the Ease of TrueNAS Scale setup and UnRAID setup to start. Then we go over how to create a share in Truenas and Setup Shares in Unraid. We use a 10Gbit home network to measure SMB write performance and get very important results. Evaluating the build in UnRAID and TrueNAS docker app stores is next and then we score the virtualization setup for each home server NAS. At the end, I present some various hardware ideas that make better sense than the Dell R520 I am using here, but if you have hardware, I urge you to consider the reuse of that hardware vs buying new.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN_bTYYSXvU Being relatively new to ZFS, I wanted to make this video to review some of the basics, understand how to expand ZFS storage, and perform tests to see any differences between configurations. As there is much more to ZFS than what I have covered here, this is the first of my videos on the topic. (Mike)
