  1. Thanks Bob, I checked the link and the drive is under warranty, so I RMA'ed it. What about the other questions? Regards.
  2. Hi Guys, I need to add more capacity to my server. In the past 6 months I added very old HDs to Unraid, waiting for prices to fall. 1. Which of the following 2 hard drives would you replace first, considering the smart report shown: a. WDC WD15EARS (1.5 TB) » load_cycle_count=33336 » current_pending_sector=1 » multi_zone_error_rate=1 b. Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS (500 GB) » reallocated_sector_ct=1 » spin_retry_count=1 » udma_crc_error_count=1 2. How likely is the second drive to fail? 3. I've seen that many of you have RMA'ed WD drives, can somebody please to point where can I find information about the RMA process and requirements. The WD drive shown above is more than 3 years old, does it qualify for RMA? Regards.
  3. The motherboard has been solid, not a single issue.
  4. OK, I have my server running on a static IP. The following tips may be useful and save some time for a newbie like me in the future. When you change your server to a static IP and is not showing in your network places in windows 7, just type: \\tower in windows explorer, note that isn't internet explorer and is "\\" not "//" My server now holds almost 3T and 3 hard drives. I haven't had a single issue and parity is good. The latest syslog is attached. Is this motherboard ready for Level 1 certification? Is there any other "benchmark" that i should run to make sure that everything is OK? Regards. syslog-2011-08-01.txt
  5. Thanks you guys for the advice about the static IP address. I followed the wiki procedure, is it that everything? or I need to setup something in the Router? and what's the difference between the wiki procedure and using the Server Management Utility to make changes? So I'm ready to add the next drive!, I will run one more parity check over night just in case. Regards.
  6. Since Raj's latest prototype design chosen motherboard is nowhere to be found, I went with the ASRock 880GM-LE. So far so good, however I'm not an Unraid expert and would appreciate any input in the attached syslog. Preclear was perfect. I transfered about 1.5 TB of movies already (mostly blu-ray) and I watched a couple of them using a popcorn hour A-200 without a single issue. Yeah, wife wasn't happy this weekend. OS at time of building: unRAID 4.7 Basic CPU: 2.7 GHz AMD Sempron 140 Motherboard: ASRock 880GM-LE RAM: 2 GB Kingston DDR3-1333 (KVR1333D3N9/2G) Case: Fractal Design Define R3 SE White Drive Cage(s): N/A Power Supply: Corsair Builder Series CMPSU-430CXV2 430W SATA Expansion Card(s): N/A USB Flash Drive: Kingston DataTraveler 101 G2 8GB Fans: All stock fans Parity Drive: 2 TB Green EARS Data Drives: 2 TB WD Green EARS (1), 1.5 TB WD Green EARS (1, not added yet). Cache Drive: None Total Drive Capacity: 8 Drives Primary Use: media streaming to Popcorn hour A-200 and other computers Likes: Very quiet. Dislikes: Nada Add Ons Used: preclear, unMenu, Mail and SSMTP. Future Plans: Add more data drives, buy UnRAID Pro Version. POSIBLE ISSUES: I think the following errors were related to the EXT2FSD program (driver) used in my main windows computer to tranfer my movies from a popcorn hour to the server. The main computer was unresponsive when I woke up in the morning. As a result of this the network connection with the computer may have been interrupted. Any advice is appreciate it! 1. While I was transfering 1TB of movies from my popcorn hour internal hard drive overnight, the syslog showed some errors (2nd attached), however the movies were all transfered and the UnRaid Server was running. 2. while navigating through the Unmenu options, Unmenu lost connection with the server. Can I trust this build to add more hard drives? 1._syslog-2011-07-25.txt 2._syslog-2011-07-24.txt
  7. Thanks Raj for the board update! I think you forgot to update the memory recommendation in the Prototype Builds thread (from DDR2 to DDR3). Edit: does this board uses the infamous Realtek 8111E LAN chip? Regards, Juan
  8. Are we getting close to get new build/motherboard alternatives?. I'm just waiting for your great advice to pull the trigger. Thanks in advance.
  9. I'm really interested in zacate for my first unRaid build. It is cheap and should it consume less power than any other solution I've seen in this forum?. About the memory, look very similar to what happen with Windows XP 32bit. About the Power LED are you sure the problem isn't the case light? Looking forward to more testing details.
