No I keep it in the garage. Had to move a few times and the box came handy.

Why hard to ship? I bought my sm847 about 10 years ago Came in a box with fitted foam wrapper. Perfectly safe. Of course the only thing left from that setup now is the shell and trays

Keep in mind that hiper-v free is very limited. It works and you can even do HA setup but do research about it. Also for HA you need a distributed storage between servers. It is very difficult to share local storage of the nodes. Last time I set something like that I used solarwinds storage but...

It all depends on what is your plan for this server. Why do you need raid?

You are welcome This forum helped me a few times too. BTW, the link is only one off hba that you may consider, it really depends on your true needs and wants. There maybe a few cards that cheaper yet still would work for you.

By the look of it it is sas3 backplane, so any sas3 hba will work like Supermicro LSI 9300-8i 12Gbps SAS-3 HBA P16 Here is a post that looks like exactly what you asking. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/109329-connecting-lsi-sas9305-24i-to-sas3-backplane/ It also looks like you need...

I have been running jdwonloader2 and jellyfin for the last 10 years. Used to have setup of sickbeard and sonarr but lost the VMs. Now I am trying to recreate something similar but need to reorganize my collection so I am trying to find what can sift through existing files and rename/move them...

I love the setup. Cant suggest much as you obviosly have seriose plans here, but have a question, how do you usr tdarr? Can it run withoit gpu? Can I use it not only to transcode my collection but also organaze it? Forgot to ask, what is your plan for OS? Thanks.

Thanks bilbo1337. I read about too, but the server was working fine for at least 6 or 7 years. Hence why I was thinking it was HDDs at first. But I checked the drives that fall out and they are ok. Health check report is ok. And when I put them back and resilver they work. Anyhow, I got a new...

Why do you think the SSD are not bootable? I had 2 730 at my work and both booted just fine from the SSDs in the flex bay

Drives work fine in another system. All drives worked in this system untill like 6 months ago. And than I start loosing drives from pools.

Ok, guess I am not getting anymore suggestions here. I ordered a new BPN-SAS2-846EL1 will see how things work out. Thanks

According to my research it should work. OP should find a flashed Dell PERC hba. I have seen a few on eBay. Something like flashed h310 or h710

The reason is , that dell r720 is very picky about what controller is supports. I had a chance to get 2 r720 and r730 for almost free,a few years back and pass it on it specifically do to the hba support on Linux. Even with windows you may have an issue with some cards. OP needs to find a Dell...

I guess this is sold already.
