Bug  Unraid need new HD's questions.... (to who own unraid) Post: #1
To who own the unRAID server....

I am on 4.7 .... the stable version.

Should I upgrade to the new version as I can see it can take up to 3tb to 4tb HD's

I know my motherboard also needs to be compatible with the HD's

Mmmmm I tough my mobo could take 3tb

I must be wrong......

anyways.....

would it be worth it getting 3tb HD's? I know my pocket won't.... lolTongue


Also back then the HITACHI Deskstar 5K3000 where highly recommended are they still up there?

I'm waiting until version 5 is actually final before using it on my production system. Not risking all my data until it is fully deemed stable.

... I have to admit, I haven't done much research on unRAID and I'm quite a noob but, are you saying the current release doesn't support 3TB hard drivesConfused That's gonna put a bit of a damper on the 3 3TB hard drives I have sitting here to build a media backup/server!

HTPC 1 - AMD A8-3870K, ASRock A75M, Silverstone ML03B, Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 1866, Crucial M4 64GB SSD
HTPC 2 - AMD A6-3500, ASRock A75M-ITX, Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR3 1866, Patriot Torqx 2 32GB SSD
HTPC 3 - Intel Celeron 847, OpenELEC
RV HTPC - Intel i3-2120 Mini-ITX, 12TB Storage
3 Raspberry Pis
unRAID 5 Server - AMD Sempron 145, 4TB Parity, 16TB Storage

version 4.7 which is the current stable build does not, however version 5.0 (which is in release candidate status) does.

RC2 is looking very good, and it supports 3TB/4TB drives. Check out the rc2 thread in their announcements section.
