jrd680 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Hi all, thought I'd post my build and get some feedback as well. Mind you I'm a complete noob though have followed the technology of UnRaid for several years. Finally getting around to building a server. Right now I'm running the following: Intel i5 10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz ProcessorAsus Prime B560-Plus Motherboard2 sticks of Crucial 8GB 2666 MHz RAM for 16 GB total A 6TB SAS drive with a 10TB SAS drive on the wayA SATA drive 256gb or 1TB from MicroCenter planning to use as a cache driveSamsung Flash Drive 1100 (32GB) for my boot drive of UnRaidGenuine LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI 9211-8i (=9201-8i) P20 IT Mode I plan to use this server for media (TV and Movies), backups of my computer (MacBook Pro) and backup my photos and videos from my phone. At the moment it'll be used for backing up via Time Machine and backing up photos and videos from my phone. That's my initial goal that I hope to meet in the coming weeks.

I also ended up installing and getting the HBA card to work so that’s solved. 2/2/22Installed HBA card, had to remove bracket, used cables and not recognized by Unraid or bios (sees LSI card though).
