The SAS controller cable came today so I took the opportunity to move everything over, it was very painless, first boot picked up all the drives aside from one which I had knocked the power out of, really like how you can lift and shift with unraid and maintain configuration.

 

I now have an extra bay which I have immediately added another 2tb drive to, making a total of 25TB.

 

Very happy with my R5 build 😁😁😁

 

 

Hello! I'm looking for hardware for my future unRAID build, I want the same CPU. Do you have any issues with 2600? You still have to disable C-states?

[Ryzen 2600 build suggestions]

Hi there!

Now I'm looking for an upgrade for my home server. I really like new AMD Ryzen CPUs, especially Ryzen 5 2600, it provides a lot of power for a low price. But I've seen some stability issues on these CPUs but that was a while ago. As for now all of these stability issues are solved? I need a stable build that can provide long server uptime. Random reboots are unexceptable. Also I don't want disabling C-states or something another enegry saving technology because I don't need a huge electricity bills.

I chose this hardware:

- Ryzen 2600

- ASRock B450M Pro4-F

- 8 Gb DDR4 2666 MHz or so (I'm planning to add 8 Gb later, total capacity 16 Gb). I'm not sure about ECC because there are no compatibility list from the manufacturer 

- Fractal Design Node 804 (great cooling, 8x3.5")

- LSI 9200-8i IT mode from eBay

- Some kind of simple cooler for the CPU or the BOX cooler

Also I already have 4xWD Red that I will use in my next unRAID build.

Budget of this build around $450 maybe $500.

Feel free to provide any suggestions!
