March 31, 201016 yr I am new to Unraid, and I am considering one of my Mother boards becouse I dont have the mony to buy a new one. The only problem I see is that it is a nVidia Nforce2 chipset and you stated that this is no good. So my question is if I dont use the built in HDD controler and only use PCI cards does this fix the issue? Or should I wait untill I can get another Mother board. Thank you
March 31, 201016 yr grab the free version and giv eit a go. populate a pairty and data disk, then run parity check a few times make sure no errors crop up.
April 1, 201016 yr Make sure you use something like md5sum or teracopy and do a checksum to verify if the data is stored successfully. Frankly, I would not trust my data to a motherboard that has a known problem for corrupting data that passes through the chipset. (this includes memory transfers).
April 1, 201016 yr Author Thank you. I think I will give it a try. If it does not work I will just see what I can do, A friend is giving me some Mother boards hopfully one of them will be much better and not have this problem.
April 1, 201016 yr Stick a cheap PCI SIL3114 in it and avoid the stress. They only cost a few pounds, parity generation and checking will slower but in operation it'll be fine.
