PanzerSajt Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hello everyone! I was trying to find information about laptop support for unRAID, but unfortunately I haven't found any. In particular I would like to install unRAID on my Lenovo Y50-70 (I can provide specification if needed) and run two Operating Systems. One using the built-in display and IntelHD4600 the other using GTX860M through HDMI. Thanks Link to comment
saarg Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 If you want to have two VMs it's not going to work as you can not pass through the CPU graphics (Intel HD4600) to a VM. Link to comment
trurl Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 What would be the point of installing unRAID on this laptop anyway? unRAID without multiple drives is pointless, and USB drives can't be part of the array. Link to comment
Squid Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 More to the point, I'd be amazed if any laptop actually supported VT-D (passthrough) Link to comment
unevent Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 My guess is he is a viewer of the Linus video where unRAID was used for head-to-head gaming on a single box. Still don't understand the point on a NAS, but I digress. Link to comment

saarg Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 This is what a Ferrari is Link to comment
garycase Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 My Porsche is a car; my friend's Ferrari is a car; and our Prius is a car. They just have different price tags. Note that the "UnRAID systems" talked about on this forum range from low-end AMD systems where the basic motherboard/CPU/memory system costs $150 and is in a $50 case all the way up to systems with motherboard/CPU/memory with E5 series Xeons and 64GB of registered RAM that costs $2000 or more, mounted in $500 cases mounted in $500 racks. Yet they're all basically NAS's at the core. Link to comment
PanzerSajt Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks for the replys. We got a little far from the original subject. I did not give up on the idea yet. Now I will try with eGPU attached to the PCI-e line that is used for a WiFi card currently. I am planning to run two OSs on unRaid. One would get GTX860m and would have the internal display the other would use the external GPU with external display. unRaid would run headless. I will keep you updated if I make progress and don't forget this thread once again Link to comment
