September 18, 201510 yr I bought my unRAID USB drive in October of 2005 for $159. I know Tom sold full servers before that (JoeL bought one) so I think I'm pretty close to the real date. I never dreamed that I'd still be using the same solution ten years on. Congratulations Tom! I think here is the thread that started it all: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/26-home-theater-computers/573986-limetech-un-raid-media-storage-server-support-thread.html
September 20, 201510 yr I hadn't even noticed until seeing this thread! First order was on 8/31/2005. Wow. Thanks to everyone, esp. you early adopters!
October 8, 201510 yr That was an awesome thread. Just spent a good 30+ minutes reading away. Congrats Limetech on all that unRAID has become and Joe. L. You was a coding monster even back in those early days.
October 28, 201510 yr I love this quote from that thread: "GigEthernet gets about 26 MB/sec (mega-byte = 1,000,000 bytes). The bottleneck here is the GigEthernet." Hmm..I think more like the PCI bus, rather than Gigabit ethernet. How technology matures in 10 years.
October 28, 201510 yr I hadn't even noticed until seeing this thread! First order was on 8/31/2005. Wow. Thanks to everyone, esp. you early adopters! I remember my first day (03/15/2010): Hi, Yes I’ve seen that you’ve had a hard time getting your order processed. I am out of town for the next two days so I can’t find out what’s going on with PayPal – we have shipped to Brazil many times in the past. But here is a free key for you! Cheers, Tom Thank you, Tom! I'll never forget how helpful you were on those days I lost all my data and unRAID helped me start al over again. Cheers!
October 28, 201510 yr My first day was May 27, 2010. Unraid has come along quite a bit since then: * unMenu * Version 5 - Plugins, VirtualBox - my favorite * Version 6 - Plugin manager, Docker, KVM unRAID has always been extremely stable over all versions. Thank you Limetech and all contributing forum members and developers.
October 30, 201510 yr Wow! I think I found it via that AVSForum post way back in the day! Circa 2006, unRAID + Meedio was a kick-butt combo. Back then, I bought two of the CM Stackers that I still use to this day. I think they came with one 4-in-3 cage each. I remember emailing Tom to see if he had any extras from his builds, and he said he'd send me a couple for free. I think I had to argue with him to get him to just let me pay the shipping! Pretty nice having a storage device that just runs unattended in the background for years. Thanks, Tom!
