  1. Hello, Am looking into building a new NAS running unRAID but this new one will have 24 bays, Am looking around for a Raid card 2x 12 port or one single 24 port card, which is the best brand to buy ? Also does unRAID support Raid cards or do they need something to configure them. Kind Regards Fat Guy

  3. Hello, I want to format my unRAID server eg start from strach, i have moved all my data over to another storage device, is it as simple as taking the usb drive out formatting it following the same steps as before and putting my licence key back on ? or is there something i need to do with the drives before i do the above the step ? any help would be great Thanks

  10. Hi is the Intel PWLA8391GTL not a 1gbe ? would that not be the same speeds as your getting now, unless am totally missing something eg your bonding 2 together or something ? would a 10Gbe setup be better like the one below i got posted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SET-2x-long-HP-671798-10GbE-Cisco-2-5m-10Gbit-10Gbase-Ethernet-10Gigabit-10G-/152323217727?hash=item23772bd93f:g:PLUAAOSwJQdW~V5c thanks
  11. Hi for storage and a really good price go for the DS380 case it has 8 Bays and 3 or think 4 could be wrong 2.5 bays for SSD's brilliant to be used as a cache pool http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=452 Happy Nassing

    Transfer Speeds

    Hi thanks for the quick replies My NAS is a very basic setup atm and it does have a SSD drive 128G as a cache drive, i transferred 180g last night to a new share i setup and it did not drop below 108mb/s what other steps do i need to take ? am not two fuzzy about getting top end transfer speed of 1.2gb/s but anything around 400 to 800 would be great thanks for the link to the 10gbe parts. the new NAS will have 2 m.2 SSD's which will have alot higher write/read speeds thanks for reading Happy Nassing

    Transfer Speeds

    Hi Thanks for the replies everyone, So the way to go is 10Gbe . so i need 2 SFP NIC cards ? one in server and the other in the pc ? to obtain better speeds then 112mb/s ? Thanks Pontey Happy Nassing
  15. Hello everyone I have a basic NAS setup, I can transfer upto 112mb/s avg constant. I plan on setting up a new NAS very soon, and looking at a board with dual Ethernet connections so i can bound them together to get higher transfer speeds. I have a basic router which my ISP provided with only 4 ports on the back. Would i need a switch and then configure 2 ports to bound and then would my pc need 2 ports to in bound mode as well ? to get the speeds ? Am not sure on what hardware i need to get higher speeds any advice would be great thanks Thanks for reading Happy Nassing
