JaseNZ Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited February 19, 2020 by JaseNZ Quote Link to comment

To be honest at this stage not a great deal, Was a case of building something that will give me plenty of room to grow and muck around with. Plans are more VM's of differing flavours.

ZataH Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 ehm why do you have nvme drivers in your array? and why is your cache raid0? I would toss a parity drive in there if I were you. I know you said you have backup, but still Quote Link to comment
jang430 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Impressive box. Would like to see how you can maximize that box of fun Quote Link to comment
JaseNZ Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 All in a new case now 😀 1 Quote Link to comment
AL_Fonce Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 WIth a lot less drives / SSDs. Have you also switch to bigger disks and no cache? Quote Link to comment
JaseNZ Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 No same amount of cache its just all the ssd'd are just in the back part of the case. I dropped a couple of smaller drives that I did not need and to keep things nice and clean. Quote Link to comment

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.

The current airflow will suck air from any gap & will leak more dust into the case. Edited June 11, 2020 by PSYCHOPATHiO Quote Link to comment

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. 1 Quote Link to comment
