July 28, 201114 yr I was wondering if anyone has tried this motherboard with unRaid? I am currently shopping for good deals to piece together an unraid system and hope to get a good deal on this motherboard. I see that it was listed in the deals section awhile back.... http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12069.0 If anyone has had experience with this motherboard, I would enjoy hearing about it! Thanks!
July 28, 201114 yr It uses the Realtek 8111E NIC, which is known to be problematic with unRAID. I would avoid this board. I'm about to start testing the ECS A785GM-M7 (free shipping at Amazon). I have to finish some other 3TB drive testing first, but I should have this board fully tested within a week at most. The biggest question about this board is the Atheros AR8131 NIC. Atheros NICs in general are known to be a bit flaky, but I haven't seen any conclusive tests on this particular flavor of it. I'm hoping that it turns out to be just fine, but at this point I don't know either way.
