October 12, 201114 yr This is now my primary unRAID motherboard. Initially I wasn't to sure about it since while changing BIOS settings it went through some strange reboot looping, but it now appears to be a very solid setup. I'm using all 6 mobo SATA ports, plus 2 SASLP-MV8 controllers with a total of 22 drives (20 data, 1 parity, 1 cache). Update: Syslog attached confirming level 1 tested th67b-syslog-2011-10-17.txt
October 12, 201114 yr Thanks for the report! If you are able to, please go through the steps to get this board Level 1 Certified. Also, the board uses the Realtek 8111E NIC. Are you running unRAID 5.0beta12a? That NIC has proven to be unstable with unRAID 4.7, but some are having success with the latest beta.
October 12, 201114 yr Author Sorry I just have stated version 4.7. I haven't seen any issues with the NIC after about 10 days. I will definitely pull together the requirements for level 1 certified.
October 17, 201114 yr Author Updated to reflect level 1 tested on unRAID 4.7 And for the record I have successfully copied 6-7 TB of data over the network from my Windows 7 PC to this unRAID server using the motherboard's built-in Realtek NIC. Server "standby" power (i.e. all drives spun down) is about 63W per my APC UPS. I credit the Supermicro SASLP boards for about half that power. But I can live with that being on 24x7 as it will cost less than $50 per year for standby mode. I prefer that to my old WHSv1 setup where I used LightsOut to put it to sleep.
