ohlwiler Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment

limetech Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I hadn't even noticed until seeing this thread! First order was on 8/31/2005. Wow. Thanks to everyone, esp. you early adopters! Quote Link to comment
kizer Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment
HellDiverUK Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment
gfjardim Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment
theone Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment
musicmann Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 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! Quote Link to comment
