June 20, 201115 yr All parts have arrived now and this is how the server is comprised: OS at time of building: unRAID 4.7 Basic CPU: Atom 330 Motherboard: ASRock A330ION Intel Atom 330 RAM: Kingston ValueRAM (2 x 2GB) DDR3 Case: Fractal Design XL Drive Cage(s): none added Power Supply: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series™ TX650 V2 — 80 PLUS® SATA Expansion Card(s): None so far but Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 will be on the way Cables: Basic SATA cables Fans: all fans came with the Fractal case. Parity Drive: Samsung HD204UI 2TB Data Drives: 2x Samsung HD204UI 2TB Primary Use: Movies, TV, mp3s, photos, Likes: quiet, Very low power Dislikes: Not silent (Will work on that), looks a bit big Add Ons Used: unMenu Future Plans: Go to the Pro license Sorry no pictures yet! So far I have passed 3 memory tests (I hope it is a satisfactory number) and I am on my 1st preclear as we speak. Since I am not experienced on unraid, I would like to post my syslog so that you more experienced guys can check out if everything is ok. Also i will try to post my preclear results for the same reason. Also my intention is to get the motherboard to the compatible hardware list by passing at least level 1 of certification. One final thing. The fan on the mobo is quite loud compared to the other components. If I unplug it (since it is the fan for the video card), is it safe? Or should I try to install a more silent fan? Thanks in advace for any help and comments!
June 20, 201115 yr Fans are important to reduce heat. Unplugging one is asking for big time trouble. You may be able to find a replacement fan that runs quieter - just make sure CFMs are similar.
June 20, 201115 yr You need a fanless video card.. You can't unplug it, and its unlikely you will find one that is significantly quieter, unless this is just an old worn out fan that is making abnormal noise due to age.
June 21, 201115 yr Author Hi, Can someone check my preclear results for all 3 drives? Thanks! Preclear.txt
June 21, 201115 yr I have always taken this "0 sectors are re-allocated at the end of the preclear" to mean that the drive was good after the preclear.
June 21, 201115 yr I have always taken this "0 sectors are re-allocated at the end of the preclear" to mean that the drive was good after the preclear. If the number is the same at the start and end of the pre-clear, it indicates no additional un-readable sectors were encountered, and that is a good indication of the drive's ability to be read.

June 26, 201115 yr Author After 3 rounds of memory checks and 2 rounds of preclear server is up and running. Getting 50MB/s without parity drive. Is that normal or should I be expecting more? Thanks!
