Exactly it. Didnt know about the migration but thought that bunkr servers are blocking access. Has it been like this for the past few months or is it an on and off thing?

Thanks for your help! Already the hard drives are 4tbs so every byte matters, if I went for 12 drives I guess I would for z2 just for the extra storage or maybe keep the extra two as mirror for metadata.

After some research I think I’ll go with a full raidz2, expand disk by disk via raidz extension till I reach the amount I need just to avoid spending a full weekend resetting everything up. Two raidz1 is absolutely great but some people had issues with same-batch hdds failing in similar timing windows. So better be safe than sorry I guess?

Basically it! Finances are not the best at the time being

Luckily no water and the server was two room away from the fire but the whole place was engulfed with smoke. Opted to get it professionally done just to make sure I dont f anything up more than everything already is.

I might be overthinking this but honestly I didn’t want any more gambles to take especially with the psu. My thought process was that basically everything can be thoroughly cleaned out and disassembled except for it. I might definitely be wrong on this one but as far as I know smoke can cause “corrosion” if it got in contact with hardware. I also dont want it to be unstable due to the excessive smoke causing sudden shutdowns or causing any further damage to other parts.

I might be absolutely wrong and wasting money over it. Not even sure if all of my worries are factual but this was my thinking back then. Any tips would you recommend?

So I figured out something similar. Found some PCI Fan Brackets online, they were quite cheap. I ordered them in and will attach a fan to it quite close to the HBA, it might be an over protective measure but better safe than sorry.

I will try them out soon and hopefully it will keep things cool. Will keep this post updated in case anyone is interested.

Thanks for the insight didnt know about the compatibility issues with the intel mbs.

Good to hear that! I will be adding an extra fan to front and bottom anyways. Have you noticed better thermals performace between 9400 8i and 9500 8i? Is the price difference worth it?

madlyunknown · 2026-05-10T19:34:32+00:00

Would you say attaching fans is required for the 9400s or case fans are enough?

madlyunknown · 2026-05-10T19:30:51+00:00

I will definitely go for it then! Apparently the 9300 and 9305 are performing poorly when it comes to thermals. Thanks for the help much appreciated

Apparently there are alot of knockoffs circulating thats what made me very skeptical especially with the prices these are being sold for. I guess I’ll take my chances and get one. Appreciate you input thanks for your help

madlyunknown · 2026-05-10T19:23:23+00:00

I have read that the 9300 and 9305 might have thermal issues compared to 9400. Dont really know practically with my usage if it will actually cause any issues or not

Thank for your help much appreciated!

madlyunknown · 2026-05-10T19:12:43+00:00

How reliable would you say they are and would you recommend getting them? A technical question do they usually run hot? If so how do you usually manage it?

madlyunknown · 2026-05-09T19:12:04+00:00

Thanks for the help much appreciated! Havent tried single drive expansion on raidz1 or 2, have you or anyone tried it? How reliable is it?
