TheStapler Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ok, not sure where to put this question, or if it has been asked/answered... (I did a search, didn't really find anything) I have a CuBox-i4Pro at home, not really doing much... it is a kool little box, 2gb ram, eSata II 3Gbps, pretty decent spec... would be awesome if unRaid could run on it...as I also have ab external esata 5 bay drive enclosure... with 6tb drives, I could have 24tb storage in a pretty small case! granted, might not be ideal, or i am not sure if it could support 6tb drives, but even with 2tb drives, and 8tb of storage, my parents would be happy. Any chances of an ARM port? Also, yet another question... how efficient are the esata 5 bay enclosures? would running in a case, using these enclosres be worth while, or would there be too much traffic over the cables?

dgaschk Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Esata with more than 2 disks will be very slow during parity checks, builds, or when a disk is emulated after a failure. The server will not be usable during any of these occurrences. With 2 or fewer disks per eSATA port the server will be slow but usable. Quote Link to comment
