My box of fun.


Recommended Posts

I have only been using unRAID for about 4 months but I am so glad I went with it instead of freenas. I did have a qnap 451+ but to me unRAID offers so much more use and flexibility.

I started off with an intel 6700k system and to be honest it would still be a super decent system but i got the build bug so here we are now.

 

OS Current: 6.8.2
CPU: AMD Ryzen 3900x

Heatsink:  The prism air cooler that came with it that does the job
Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master
RAM: 32GB Crucial 4 x 8gb 2666MHz 
Case: Corsair Vengeance C70 (Black)
Power Supply: EVGA 850 G3

GPU: ASUS GeForce GT710 2GB GDDR5 (Just for accessing the bios etc)

Drive Controller: Dell Perc H310 SATA / SAS HBA Controller (running 8 drives including the cache)

NVME Controller: Asus Hyper M.2 x16 Card V2 (4 x 1TB Crucial CT1000P)

Cache: 1TB (2 x Samsung 860 EVO'S)

Drives: 1 x 8TB, 2 x 6TB, 4 x 4TB, 1 x 3TB, 1 x 1TB SSD

 

I don't run a parity drive as I have a backup which is my old QNAP 451+ which is  running unRAID as well. It has 4 x 10TB's in it.

Two questions 

I have a qnap 451 as well. 
how did u move the data over?

how do u configure it to act as a backup?

Mounted the qnap share in unassigned devices and then used Krusader to copy what I wanted over.

Then used Syncthing to keep things synced in realtime.

 

I should note my Qnap is running unraid as well.

This case i just awesome & very organized with ample space for air flow & no obstruction if work is needed.

just noticed something, you have only one intake, you might want to make it 2 intakes for cooling the driver & one exhaust for positive pressure air flow to pass all incoming air though the dust filter. The current airflow will suck air from any gap & will leak more dust into the case.

I have actually done this, the other photo was just after I had built it and did not have a spare fan sitting around. I have since added this fan in. Sorry for the red I must turn it all off in the bios lol.
