https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/prereleases/unraid-os-version-6110-rc1-available-r2033/ This release includes some bug fixes and update of base packages. Sorry no major new feature in this release, but instead we are paying some "technical debt" and laying the groundwork necessary to add better third-party driver and ZFS support. We anticipate a relatively short -rc series.

I use a free program called FAT32format GUI to format drives larger than 32 GB with the FAT32 file system. https://fat32format-gui.en.lo4d.com/windows

https://www.tomshardware.com/news/agesa-1207-am4-motherboard-roundup It's now June of 2022, and AMD's new AGESA 1207 microcode has made it to the vast majority of AM4 motherboards on the market - both old and new. This update includes fixes for the infamous fTPM stuttering bug and includes full Ryzen 5000 series CPU support on all older generation AM4 motherboards, including the 300 series and 400 series.

I often use Spaceinvader One's Rootshare method with my dual pane FreeCommander from my Windows 10 machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bp8_4xRYOX4 The new Dynamix File Manager plugin looks damn convenient though.

😏 I thought there was a strong recommendation not to have SSDs in the array, but only in pools and unassigned devices.

Be aware that the parity drives for Unraid need to be equal or bigger than the largest data drive in the array. This means that based on those disks, at least one (and maybe both) of the 14TB disks would need to be dedicated to parity. You can have up to two parity drives in Unraid, which will allow recovery from two drives failing at the same time. I concur with MAM59 about the choice of CPU. I suggest you rethink your budget. Expecting great performance for the tasks you are planning from older computer parts may lead to frustration and more hair pulling! 😕

This may help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVV-L1GBvQo This video by Spaceinvader One shows how to setup a Minecraft Server in docker on an Unraid server. The video shows how to install it and then link it to a domain or subdomain using SRV records.

Patrick Kennedy takes a look at whether WD Red Pro 20TB has lower endurance than cheap M.2 NVMe SSDs. He discusses WD's "Workload Rate" and see how the company is keeping very low ratings across the WD Red Pro lines. He also briefly talks about the low MTBF and UBER rates. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svR68w0fkAU

How big is your Parity drive? Data drives must be less than or equal to parity size.
