Hello,

 

Does anyone know how I can install unRAID on this server http://www.seagate.com/gb/en/consumer/backup/seagate-nas/. Will I need to do anything different.

 

Thanks

Harry

You can't. It has an ARM processor. unRAID needs an x86 processor from AMD or Intel.

Can you recommend a very cheap NAS with 4 Bays that I can install unRAID on?

You do not install unraid on a nas.. You install unraid on a pc/server and use it as a NAS (and as virtualisation platform)

Let me rephrase. Can you recommend a cheap server where I can install a NAS onto that has 4 bays?

The HP Proliant Microserver Gen8 would meet that requirement.

Saw that before. Is there nothing cheaper?

Compared with the cost of the hard disks you plan to put inside it, it is cheap. It's astonishingly good value, actually, and I know for a fact that it works with unRAID. If you find something cheaper that does the job as well then please post here.

Thanks. Need a really good argument to hit my dad with tomorrow for a reason to get one...

I bought a few of the Dell T20s that were on sale recently for $130/ea. They can handle four drives.
