As the name suggests, RAID is not supported on array data drives. This thread is a discussion of disk controllers that are recommended for use with unRAID. Quote Link to comment

You can buy an HBA330 Mini, You can flash your H710 to IT Mode You can buy an H730P Mini, and set to passthrough Just want to add..... when I tried my H310 with my R530 it didn't work and gave me a backplane error Edited May 28, 2022 by G Speed Quote Link to comment
Hoopster Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 @DigDug5002 The information above from @G Speed should be taken into consideration. I have never used a Dell server for unRAID but the H310 works fine with my non-Dell hardware. If G Speed has problems with the H310, perhaps one of his other suggestions is a better choice.

Sorry for late response, I don't get notifications honestly... does the mobo have 2 - Sff-8087 ports? If so.... just buy 2 cables "they are dirt cheap" go from backplane direct to mobo don't waste your time flashing anything Disable the "raid card" and save some power too Edited June 10, 2022 by G Speed Quote Link to comment
