Rebuilding Unraid server


Recommended Posts

Rebuilding my 14 yr old unraid server because I don't want to keep upgrading my drives (running GIGABYTE AM2 MOBO with only 5 SATA ports, built to last!). Rather, I would like to start expanding my array with more drives.

 

Wondering what the best option would be in terms of upgrading for minimum 10 drives. Should I just get a new case/MOBO/CPU etc? Seems like over kill since everything is working well.

 

What would you guys do?

Bump.

 

Should I get a SATA expander? If so, where do the extra power cables come from? How do people normally power 14 HDD with your average PSU? I have not seen a PSU with 14 HDD cables.

 

Clearly I would love some assistance with rejigging my rig
