Thanks. It seems like the Intel PWLA8391GTL is pretty highly rated and reasonably priced.

Looking for good compatible gigabit NIC recommendation for a home built UnRAID server I've been running for about 5 or 6 years. I've been limping along this whole time with the on board 10/100 interface and I'm fed up with the slow transfers, so I'm finally going to upgrade. Thanks

Update: I did end up using ReiserFS to copy all of my data to another NAS. It took days and days! Through that process I was able to identify the parity drive. Eventually I decided to try the drives in another PC. I connected them to my daughters basic computer, booted with the same flash drive, configured the drives using the web interface, and voila, it was all back to normal The only anomaly is that after a few minutes, it just "goes away". I can no longer access it using the web interface or browsing in My Computer. Not sure if this is related, but the monitor shuts down as well. After changing the PSU and having nothing change, I decided to let it work on the parity check overnight. Sure enough, in the morning, it was fine. Monitor is still blank but I run it dead head anyway. So, the bottom line is, I was able to recover the data, and I was able to restore the tower. All hail unRAID. And now I'm eyeing the Lian-Li PC-Q25B Builds thread Thanks all for helping me in my hour of need and apologies for the belated reply, although in my defense, I didn't really get the thing back online until last night.

Guess I'll have to do that. Based on this page: http://lime-technology.com/unraid-server/#unique-identifier3 where it says: "With unRAID, you have the flexibility in these situations of unplugging your healthy disks and re-inserting into another server or hooking up to a Windows or Linux machine, giving you immediate access to your data." I assumed I could plug it into a Windows machine. I do plan to build another server in the future, but until then I'd like to have my data (movies) accessible. Also, unfortunately, I was running 4.7 without a snapshot of the drive locations, so I'm not in good shape there either. Live and learn.

Hi All, I've been running a paid license unRAID server without incident for well over a year. Now it seems my PC no longer wants to boot. What I want to do is simply recover the data drive by drive by installing them into another PC. I installed one of the drives into a new PC build running Windows 7. I can see the drive in Computer Management under the Storage section, but it doesn't appear under Computer. None of the context sensitive menus under Storage Management seem to do anything useful. Where do I go from here? Thanks in advance.
