    Long Term Storage

    thanks! Hong Kong, here I come...
  2. Anyone have any recommendations for long term (1+year) storage of the unraid server? Should I take the HDDs out? Leave them in? Something else?

    My First Build

    Good to know about HPA with the gigabyte boards. Seems easy enough to handle...if you know about it. Since the motherboard has a built-in video card, and that the 2nd PCI-e 4x pipe shares the same bus as 2 of the PCI-e x1, am I right in assuming that I could: Put an Adaptec 2240900-R into my x16 (i can use this for non-video card stuff and it won't break my onboard video, right?) Put another Adaptec 2240900-R into my x4 Put an Adaptec 2232100-R into the 1 still-active x1 and then have 2 plain PCI slots for something like Adaptec 1205SA. (I'm not looking to start off with all of these, I'm just making sure I understand the expandability I will have).

    My First Build

    Hello, I'm looking to replace my WHS HP machine with an UnRaid machine. Just wanted to post my build to make sure I wasn't missing anything important: AMD Athlon II X2 235E Corsair VX550W 550W G.SKILL 2X1GB DDR2-800 Sandisk 2GB Cruzer Micro Gigabyte GA-MA785G-UD3H AMD785G Coolermaster Centurion 590 Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 8 Port SATA Card 3x Supermicro 3X5.25 to 5X3.5IN SATA Drive Bay I'll be using 1TB WD green drives for data, a 1TB WD black for the parity disk, and 640GB WD black for the cache drive.
