madwyn Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I had plan to use unraid with a Mac Pro 4.1/5.1, but it seems this is impossible at the moment. So I decided to get an Intel NUC or similar small factor PC which has Thunderbolt 3 and connect it with a QNAP QNA SFP+ adaptor. This adaptor has a known good compatibility with macOS, but I'm not sure if it will work with unraid. Am I going the right direction? Quote Link to comment
testdasi Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Assume it won't work. Thunderbolt is at a very early stage in terms of support. I think driver was only added on 6.8.1-rc1 i.e. a few days ago. Quote Link to comment

I plugged the QNAP QNA, nothing shows for the ifconfig. I will pass the idea for now. Quote Link to comment
