October 24, 201312 yr I'm not sure if this is the right location, but i simply wanted to share with the community some hardware that i just confirmed to work. USB: SanDisk Cruzer Fit 8GB MB: ASRock H87M Pro4, LGA 1150, Micro ATX, HDMI, 6x Sata 6Gb/s CPU: Intel G3220 Haswell 3.0GHz PSU: LEPA N Series N500-SA 500W ATX12V HD: 3x WD Red 3TB Case: just in case someone cares 4GB ddr3 2000 memory i had laying around installed as dual channel LAN chip: Giga PHY Intel I217V North bridge: Intel H87 The system booted up without having to even go into the bios whatsoever. It worked off of HDMI and the NIC was picked up. It turned out to be a completely hassle free config. Rough cost at the present time is $700 usd (400 of which was HDD). The system was built as general in-home storage with the primary purpose being to hold media for a couple HTPCs. I likely wont be doing any throughput tests, etc, but here are some of the metrics i do have available. During parity sync the drives were at 28C. Parity sync estimate was listed at 320 minutes and began with an estimated speed of 160MB/s. Also, i highly recommend the Fractal case. It is quite sturdy, has no sharp edges, grommets to protect wiring that you route behind MB, rotatable drive bay, etc. I am very pleased with the quality for only $60. It also came with 3 large cooling fans that only emit a very slight hum. This was my first unRAID setup. Thanks for providing such a great piece of software!
October 27, 201312 yr Sound good. Have you ever measured the power consumption of your system und different load situations (eg. idle all disks spun down)? Would be interesting for me because i want to upgrade my unRaid System.
January 3, 201412 yr hi, i purchased two ASRock H87M Pro4, LGA 1150, Micro ATX, HDMI, 6x Sata 6Gb/s, based on this thread. they both work fine, although i had a problem with one of them . the first one ran fine under 5.0-rc16, but the second one had problems under 5.0.4 (machine check error during boot). couple hours of hair-tearing, almost rma'ing the mobo plus some minutes of google-fu, revealed that the syslinux version bundled with 5.0.4 is a notorious enemy of the uefi bios that comes with the mobo i had to replace syslinux with the latest version, and make_bootable the usb ... after that, everything was peachy !
