brandon Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Damnit, so some bad news (good for you guys). The Z77 motherboard with unRaid 5 rc8a loads up the Syba card fine at PCIe 2.0 with 2 lanes. I guess my Gigabyte Z68 board can't run 2 lanes on any slots. I tried running a brand new install with no cards other than the Syba (and in the three compatible slots), and it's still only able to connect with 1 lane. Quote Link to comment
UhClem Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Thanks for your efforts; sorry for your "loss". (Though, as you determined earlier, you can still put any 3 of your (current) non-SSD drives on the (Z68/)9230 without penalty (and, hence, remove one of the 3132s); and you can configure one/both of the Syba's eSATAs for out-of-case expansion, etc.) [Another example that Murphy is a bevious dastard.] Quote Link to comment

The next step of capacity expansion will be to swap out the 500GB drives with 2-3TB drives in the future (but I'll do it when I need more space). It's shitty in that if I knew that this was what I would get, I would have gotten the SATA3 SuperMicro PCIe 2.0 8x card for a bit more. Then I wouldn't use the Monoprice cards either.
