This is my second one of these but this time I’m going to install unRAID on it via the internal USB socket with SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16GB USB. Is unRAID the best solution for maximum storage and safety for home use?
I’ve got 5*2TB drives and a 120gb SSD for the cache drive on a gigabit network. I was hoping to install a USB3 PCI Express 2.0 card for back up from the server to external HDD's. I’m looking for one that has two internal connections and maybe one external connection. I don't know but would the Startech 4-Port PCI Express USB3 card be suitable for the HP Microserver?
I’m looking at the Lokstor M51 from Scan for the extra 3.5" 2TB and the 2.5" 120GB SSD in the 5.25" bay as it has two USB3 connections on the front as well.
Also is it worthwhile putting 8GB, 2*4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 into it or is that OTT for unRAID? I still have the 2GB ECC DDR3 from the last one I bought so would have 4GB ECC DDR3!
Any help would be appreciated!
