Hello,

 

I'm thinking about purchasing Super Micro motherboard C7Z170-SQ for Intel Core i7 6th or 7th gen processor and wanted to find out if board is compatible with latest version of Unraid.

 

Thank you for all your help.

Yes.  

 

You'll have to try very, very hard to find a board that isn't compatible.

Thank you.

 

Will I be able to move all my existing setup including hard drives to new build without loosing any settings or data? If yes, are there any instructions? can you please provide link.

 

Thank you very much.

What is your current setup? What OS are you currently on?

I have very basic setup since my current pc is dell optiplex can't add any more drives and mobo is custom

UnRaid Server 6.3.2

16 GB RAM

Core i7 Pro

2 Ethernet Adapters

1 Parity drive Toshiba 4TB

1 Data drive Toshiba 3TB

1 Cache drive (SSD)

2 Unassigned drives out of which 1 is external drive for backup and 2 internal drive for temp.

 

 

 

Yes you will be able to move over to new hardware without losing any of your data or settings. Many users on here, including myself have done motherboard swap outs with little to no after effects. What is most important is you document your drive setup so that when you migrate to the new setup you select the same drive as your current parity drive. You may have to do a 'new config' but after that the array should start and everything should be back to normal. There can me minor hiccups when do this as your new board may have a few new features your old board doesn't etc, but if you run into any trouble many people here have experience with this sort of hardware swap and can help.

What you mean by "new config" please explain.

If you go into the Tools menu on your current unRAID server, you will see 'New Config' this tells unRAID that you are doing a new config, its kind of a reset that allows you to start new. It may not be necessary, I can't remember if I had to do it or not.

Thank you ashman70 and HellDiverUK for all your help. Unraid has the best user forums.

Everything should move over no problems, unRAID is very good when moving between machines.  I don't think you'll have any issues.

Thank you
