I lolled so hard when he said... "I have had it installed the wrong way around in the past" then tries to install it during 25 seconds, realizing it is the wrong way around, puts up a weird face, then does it the right way and then forgets to edit that part out. :) Superb video though!
Thanks for this tutorial, it helped me get UNRAID set up on my Terramaster. The USB stick (USB 3.1) showed the same error so I had a similar form factor USB2 stick which was picked up by the UNRAID creation tool. So, if anyone attempts this they might want to factor that in, if they want to use the UNRAID tool. Another point is that Apple Mac Keyboards don't work so mac users will want to purchase a cheap windows keyboard if they don't have one already (amazon has them for ten bucks which will do the trick).
I am curious If you could make a video or have a list of the off the shelf nas's that you can setup with unraid. Part of me wants to do a big diy build for alot of space . But then worry about hardware picking/cost and the ability for it to be low power. On a side note. Question about WD Green Drives in nas's as i have been storying my files on these HDD and would want to start a nas that uses them as a cost saving measure while i save and get red drives as cold swaps as the greens die.
i’ve been running 2 WD 4gb blues hdd’s for over a year on TrueNAS Scale in a raid 1 (mirror) config without an issue so far. i have 4th gen pc and a ssd for the OS. typically have about a 22-26 watt idle. no issues with the drives. the ssd i use had some sector problems but has been fixed (idk). for lite use they’re probably ok. i only have Plex on TrueNAS and perhaps use it 3-5 times a week depending on what i’m watching. i am however planning on getting either a Terramaster, Qnap, or other to replace it and maybe use Unraid. TrueNAS is too advanced for my old brain. :p
Will one of the more powerful noctua high rpm fans fit in here? Is the fan accessible for replacement anyway? I’d love to go with something off the shelf that’s power efficient, but I don’t see how the fan will actually keep up with that many hdds in such a tight space.
I found with a usb 3.1 sandisk that wouldn’t boot. Had to do manual install to the stick and didn’t work. Would not boot. Got a usb 2.0 verbatim stick that recognised as compatible. Is a t6-423 that I have. Mine came with 8gb though website says 4gb. Gone back to TOS 5.0 as all using for is a repository for iTunes library, HDHomeRun in a docker and a plex server for own media (save having Mac on) Unraid a bit overkill for what looking for. But the newer t6, series does work nicely with unraid providing get appropriate usb stick
there is one think i dont fully understand. Why using that internal usb? When i look up how unraid works i see that you get an boot window that lets you chose from where to boot. Can't i just stick it in one of the outer usb drives?
just dropping a comment here after diving and and installing unRaid on my F5. Super happy with this BUT heat might be an issue 5x10TB drives get HOT....and the included fans even on full aren't pulling enough air through to get trigger frequent warnings for temp in unRaid. My solution to this is a) add a USB powered fan to the front to help push air in. b) up the threshold by a couple degrees C for the warning. thanks for the video and inspiration to take this plunge.
@@Bryanluna1994 all spining rust (10TB) and temps range from low of 39 to high of 42. Was able to drop temps lower by putting a 2nd fan in front to push air in....that dropped all temps into the high 30s IIRC.
Hi Ive done this with my terramaster and it wont boot from the USB without going into the bios and selecting it to boot any help with this would be great
I strongly advice AGAINST that SANDISK USB Drive...you need one with a unique UUID. That drive was a good one a couple of years ago and many sites recommended it...but the actual ones are more miss than hit because they changed the internal chips and have no longer a unique UUID. The size is right, but look somewhere else..or have one lying around from 4+ years ago. Oh...BTW purchase 2 of your working ones...as a backup. They should last a long time because they are only read from or written to during startup. So that probably 2-4 times a year.
Tbh I used that middle section in 2 more videos! Making a video a day means a degree of efficiency when making comparable content. The error is so small that it seemed crazy to re do all the editing and scheduling to replace. Think of it as a wonderfully shameful Easter egg...
DO NOTUSE the recommended USD drive!!!!! The latest Unraid USB creator will not use it, says it's incompatible sees it as a 0mb drive on Windows and Mac despite the OSs seeing the full size of the drive and are able to use it.
I get that alot! Mainly it's because the average video I make is about 80GB in raw data - the recordings, 3 audio tracks, shadow files and effects/high res images. I publish a video a day and like to keep at least 7 days of project data live on my system in case I need to make a repair/change and re publish / re-edit. (the 2nd Drive you see there is the target drive, a SATA one I use to store completely projects that is on a 30 recycle). So yeah, along with typically day to day use, my blog writing and emails, my local storage is almost always at 90%. But backed up to 3 places. Hope that explains my foolhardiness!

The SanDisk USB shows up as incompatible because its UBS 3.1 or 3.2. UnRAID is compatible with USB 3.0 and older.

Would you recommend that you install Unraid to a NMVe drive if you plan licence Unraid and use it full time?
Great video. I see UnRAID blooming these days... also a very good nas OS.
This is tempting my to get A terramaster nas and do this.
Any other usbs you can recommend? That particular one doesnt have a GUID, so it cant register an unraid license
Just bought a Terramaster f5-422 - NO SCREWDRIVER INCLUDED as the 3.5" drives are screw-free installation. Gutted
Making more videos soon ?? Can’t wait 😁

Paying attention to the label on the bottom is much easier for correct orientation. See where it is before disassembly.
can the D4-300 model work on unraid? Thanks!
Can you do Proxmox next? Then put TrueNAS/UnRAID back on it as a VM.

I'm using a SanDisk Ultra 64 Go Dual Drive - partitioned - with sucesss with Unraid
I've got the exact same problem. I ordered the drive off the link and it will not boot.

Can this same procedure be done on a QNAP or Synology or Asustor?
For QNAP yes but avoid TS-253A . I got some weird issue with it

Just because the internal one is wasted otherwise...it's TINY and means you still have all the external ones for use as backups and peripherals

What’s a good temperature range for the drives mine idles around 30c but my SSD idles around 40c

it’s basically a PC. change the boot order in the Bios.
@destronger5313 the bios is locked I've emailed terramaster they don't reply
@@garethedmonds1376 did you ever figure this out?
Surely 8gb Ram wouldn't be enough for unraid is 8gb ram the max for terramaster ?
Can you do this with the T6-423?
100% yes

Is plex performance better?
Lots of regular booming or banging. Are you bashing the microphone on a regular basis? 😉
Can you please do video on installing windows 10 or 11 on Terramaster? Thanks

Can you please discuss how to UnINSTALL UnRAID?
remove USB drive with unRaid and replace with factory installed one? Or am i missing something more complex?
Instructions unclear. Ended up installing ADM onto a Synology.
ADM onto a Synology... you must like eating soup with a fork 😆
