Has anyone tested UnRaid on an nForce4 Chipset?  Specifically thinking of something like this DFI Lanparty SLI-DR

The nice thing about this board is it has support for 12 drives (4xPATA, 4xSATA-I, 4xSATA-II) so no extra expansion cards required (assuming it would work).

 

I realise official SATA support isn't yet in public builds, but thought I'd check now before embarking on assembling some hardeware to migrate all my data onto an UnRaid setup.

 

 

That m/b is interesting - also has dual GigE ports.  Unfortunately I'm not familiar at all with nforce linux drivers & we have no nforce m/b's to test with.

They're usually what you'd call "enthusiast" boards, but they do have a great deal of features on them, and aren't too overly priced.

 

If it wasn't for the fact I live over the other side of the world, I'd quite happily send you one to play with.  I'm considering just putting 8-10 drives in and just creating one large Software RAID5 array assuming unRaid isn't likely to work in the near (2-3 months) future with these.  I presume, it's only the chipset support in the Kernel version you currently use that would stop it working,
