BillK Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I searched through the "Motherboard" and "Hardware" sections of the forums and, based on comments from users, have constructed a list of unRAID-compatible motherboards: Asrock 939SLI32-eSATA2 Asus A8N-VM CSM Asus P4C800-E Asus P4P800-E Deluxe Asus P4P800-SE Asus P4R800-VM Asus P5B-E Asus P5GDC-V Deluxe Asus P5LD2 R2.0 Asus P5LD2-VM R2.0 Asus P5PE-VM Epox 8NPA SLI Gigabyte GA-81848P775-G Gigabyte GA-945GZM-S2 Intel D845GVAD2(L) Intel D865GLC Intel D915GAGLK Intel D945GCCRL (added 5/23/07) MSI K8N Neo4 Notes: 1. MB's in bold text are available (as of 5/21/07) from Newegg. 2. MB's in italized text were out of stock (as of 5/21/07) from Newegg. 3. If a user reported success with a particular mb and then wrote back reporting a significant problem (inability to boot off the USB port, lack of SATA controller support, poor parity calculation), I took it off. Please feel free to add/subtract to the list. I thought this would be a helpful guide for newbies. Quote Link to comment
cmhardwick Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Intel D945GCCRL - main drawback to this one is the onboard NIC is only 10/100. You have to use one of the 2 PCI slots to go to gigabit. Works great otherwise (tigerdirect, $69.99, no processor) Quote Link to comment
BillK Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 Intel D945GCCRL So...it's working for you? Quote Link to comment
cmhardwick Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 no problems, 1gb ram, dual channel ddr2, celeron 3.4ghz processor(combo with mb), 3 drives (750 parity, 750 and 500 data), promise card, intel pro 1000 nic. Parity builds are fast (on par with other good systems, 51mbps I believe) I'm using Vantec easyswap drive trays for the data drives, the parity drive is mounted internally. 650watt PS, Coolmaster Centurion case (5 external bays, 4 internal) Using one PCI slot for NIC means of course only 1 promise card, but MB has 4 sata ports onboard. (MB/CPU combo, $114.99 on Tigerdirect currently) Quote Link to comment
BillK Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 no problems Thanks, I've added it to the list! Quote Link to comment
RockDawg Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 no problems Thanks, I've added it to the list! It was already on the list. Quote Link to comment
BillK Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 It was already on the list. If you're talking about my list RockDawg, you're incorrect. My original list was posted on 5/21. I went back and added cmhardwick's mb (the Intel 9945GCCRL) after the fact...which I tried to designate by placing the "(added 5/23/07)" text after it. In addition, the unRAID blog software updated the edit record with a "« Last Edit: May 23, 2007, 08:18:37 PM by BillK »" at the end. If, on the other hand, you're referring to the new wiki....then yes, you're right. My only excuse is that I was trying to build an updated list just as parsec, Tom & issacq were standing it up the wiki and transferring the contents. Since it would be confusing (& counterproductive) to maintain two lists...I yield to great & powerful wiki. Just in case you are interested, you can find it here... http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hardware_Compatibility Quote Link to comment
RockDawg Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Sorry, I should've been more clear. I meant it was already on the Wiki list. Quote Link to comment
mikester Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Please add the ABit AB9 Pro to the list. Quote Link to comment
BillK Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I've added it to the wiki. Quote Link to comment
orb Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Asus A7N8X Deluxe Rev. 2.0 bios 1008 modified to include the latest Sil3112 bios (4.2.83). I run it headless using the stop on no error bios option and I downclocked my Athlon 2500 to 650 MHz with no real performance impact, it uses less power, and the heatsink is cold! It has been running flawlessly for a week, parity calculation is OK, I have only 3 drives but I might soon try with more. The USB flash drive is a PQI Intelligent Stick 1.1 128 MB, It's USB 1.1, and plugged on a generic USB 1.1 hub to fit it inside, a bit slow but reliable. Quote Link to comment
