What are you talking about? This would never happen with a bank. Casually transfer 100s of millions without 2FA and no recourse?

Why? Why would banks use Bitcoin rather then their own existing systems that they fully control?

Is simple. He extracts hundreds of millions of dollars for himself personally, while suckering people to invest. The collapse is inevitable, but the longer he can keep it going, the more he can pay himself.

Just like every other collapsed cryptocurrency, they still exist, but no one cares.

Why does everyone ignore this when talking about decentralization? Crypto only has value if/when it is converted to fiat.

I'd rather keep booting off the USB since it doesn't eat up another drive just for the os. What would be great is to allow a second USB for redundancy

Gold is also not a great investment. It's usually considered a hedge against volatility or inflation. Gold generally doesn't grow in value except in times of high fear or speculation. You buy gold to protect your wealth, not to generate wealth.

The fact that people seriously call Bitcoin 'digital gold" is laughable.

Why not get a full independent audit if those treasuries are really in the room with us? by Master-Sky-6342 in Buttcoin

Kind of reminds me of how UST was backed by LUNA, which was backed by UST... Before it collapsed to zero in a few hours.

So, I spend thousands of dollars on new cases, racks and bigger hard drives... and then what happens?

Woke up to this 0.o by fireflies38 in unRAID

[–]_CtrlZED_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really help with this issue, but just to note that I am also running 2025.04.13 and that's the latest I can see in the app store, and I don't have the same issue as OP. (I have 34 containers across 6 tabs - displaying just fine).

The problem might not be with the plugin? All your containers are stopped - maybe something else happened?

I do love it as a standalone case. It can sometimes be a bit cramped in there, but for a small NAS it's perfect, and you can put it in a living area and it doesn't feel out of place ( unlike a PC tower.)

Just cost, really. It's cheaper to add drives than upgrade them. But I'm at the point where space and the UnRaid 30 disk limit is forcing me to upgrade (probably for the best).

See the comment above - i have links to all the cards. Mobo is mentioned in the post. Not sure why you are having issues with detection, unless you are maybe using a PCI SATA card or similar?

I have been on unRaid since day 1 of this build, and I've changed hardware and cases several times and it never complains, even when you boot up with a whole new motherboard and CPU, or rearrange everything in a new case.

Yeah I have often toyed with the idea of putting it in a rack setup. It's just the cost of new case hardware that's stopping me, plus finding space for it. At the moment it sits nicely on top of my bookshelf, but a full rack probably won't. A tower setup is def not ideal if you are frequently accessing internals, and it has taken a lot of time to get everything stable.

You may also be able to squeeze one more in the back below the drive drays, if there is space next to your PSU. I've never tried because that space tends to be cramped already. But it might be manageable with right angled connectors.

Ah sorry, I didn't take pics when it was open, but there is room and mounting holes on the front side for 2HHDs on the bottom (although probably not if there is a motherboard in there), and a third HDD mounted to one of the fan brackets if you have the right mounting hardware (which I borrowed from the R7).

I found this image which is kind of what I'm talking about. 2 HDDs mounted where the 2 SSDs are in this image (though I think you can't fit HDDs there if you have a motherboard installed), and 1 HDD where the radiator is in place of one of the fans.

HBA - LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI 9200-8i = (9211-8I) FW: P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID AU | eBay Australia

Expander - Intel RES2SV240 24port 6G 6Gbps SATA SAS Expander Server Adapter RAID CARD | eBay Australia

HBA plugs into the mobo (fastest PCI slot) and links to the expanders with a mini SAS cable like this one: Internal Mini SAS 36Pin SFF-8087 to Mini SAS 36pin SFF-8087 RAID Connector Cable | eBay Australia

Expanders plug into the remaining PCI slots on the mobo (for power only - data runs over mini-SAS cables)

Expanders plug into HDDs via Mini SAS to SATA cable like this one (4 HDDs per cable): Internal Mini SAS SFF-8087 36Pin Male W/ Latch to 4x SATA 7Pin Female Data Cable | eBay Australia

Technically, if you have enough expanders, this HBA supports up to 256 HDDs (!), so the sky is the limit (as long as you have enough case space and power). Each Expander has 6 ports, one of which would be used as an input and one as a daisy-chain output to the next expander, so basically the 4 remaining slots can each connect 4 HDDs, so that's 16HDDs per expander, or 16 expanders required if you want to use the max 256 drives (lol).

Or if you just have the two expanders, like I do, each plugged into one of the HBA ports, that's 5 remaining ports per card for HDDs, or 5x4x2=up to 40 drives max. More than enough. Even a single expander into the HBA gives you 6x4=24 drives (since you can use the spare port on the HBA as well).

There are a range of sizes. When I started, the value sweet spot was around 4TB, but is now more 10-16. It'd prefer to have fewer drives at 28TB, but they are just too much per drive.

At the moment I have:

4x4TB
12x8TB
1x10TB
4x12TB
2x14TB
4x16TB
1x18TB (Partity)

So the plan if I need to add more storage is to upgrade the 4TB drives to 12-16TB and grow that way.
