I found this on ebay and was wondering if it was supported by unraid. I did a search on the motherboard and all other components and found nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is really intriguing!  Would be nice if you could save $70 and pick it up.

 

My only concern would be the 3Ware 9500 cards.  They are not listed on the compatibility page.  I would find someone who has tested those particualr cards before forking out the $$$.

 

Otherwise, I think that is a damn good deal!  It even has an addiitonal 8x PCI-E slot...but no where to put more drives (other than the mounts in the back of the case)

I think the drivers are in both 4.7 and unRAID 5.0beta4 as loadable modules.

Both .config files have these lines:

CONFIG_BLK_DEV_3W_XXXX_RAID=m

CONFIG_SCSI_3W_9XXX=m

 

You might be in luck.  (do your own investigation, but I think those are the needed drivers)
