Any experience with the Asus P5QL-VM DO and unRAID?


Recommended Posts

I'm about to put my first unRAID Server together and am looking for some feedback.

 

These are the Components I already have and am looking for any insight into their performance and functionality with unRAID.

 

Mobo - Asus P5QL-VM DO

CPU - LGA775 Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700 or E6300

Ram - Crucial Ballistic 2 GB DDR2-800 (2x1GB)

HD - Hitachi 1 TB x2 and 1 WD 640 GB

PSU - Corsair CX600

Case - Zalman Z9 Plus

 

So what is the verdict on the Mobo?  Has anyone had success with it?

 

TIA

I've been running one of these with an Intel Celeron E3300 since November.  Converted over from a WHS machine.  No problems at all, and it's been running pretty much 24x7 the whole time.

 

Pros:  6 SATA ports on the mainboard, cheap ($$$)

Cons:  Only 1 PCI express slot (x16), so I'm somewhat limited when it comes time to add extra controller cards

 

If I were buying new, I'd probably look for something with more PCIe slots, but no complaints on its performance so far.
