July 27, 201213 yr I have been running for about 6 months with my unraid build, extremely happy with the product. Since then I have replaced a couple of drives because they were shown signs of future failing. I build me unraid system using all "old" hardware I had lying around. This had made it possible for me to check out if unraid was the system for me without heavy costs. I am now positive I want to keep using unraid for 5+ years (I have learned 5 years is about all you can guarantee in IT ;-) The motherboard in me unraid system is the board I was using in my pc for several years before, I am using: ASUS A8NE Athlon X2 Both are -years- old. When should I start thinking about replacing if I do not want to wait untill they fail... Also.. Can someone point me in the direction of the board and processor to use if I want the system to be able to do heavy plugins (I basically do not use a lot but keep on trying them ;-) and still as energy efficient as possible. Thanks !
July 28, 201213 yr Author I was thinking about this board: SuperMicro X7SPA-HF-D525 http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/ICH9/X7SPA-HF-D525.cfm Board and processor seem to have a little more kick then my current Athlon X2 (and the horsepower of my curren system sofar has been large enough for everything I throw at it). Also it has integrated video where I currently have an old 3d gaming card in the system that is only used whenever I need a monitor (which only happens once in the last half year. Any thoughts ? I would probably put 4 gigs in there just like now.
July 28, 201213 yr I have one of these. Works great. Even have esxi running on it (32bit guests only and no hardware passthrough but still good) Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2
August 8, 201213 yr also I have one and it works great, the specs say that only holds 4GB RAM but you can go up to 8GB. see the attachment

August 12, 201213 yr I haven't tried. But would guess yes as I've see others talk about it on other threads/boards. Sent from my SGH-I727R using Tapatalk 2
