UnRAID development hasn't ever stopped, I have no idea how you could,say that. It's Currently got a beta that allows it to run Xen VMs. I've been running it since it was first released with no issues and the support forum is always active. I've used hot swap bays and cases without problem and have 30TB now with empty bays available. Having seen friends burn up quite a few of those pre-built things I won't touch them unless its from the likes of dell or HP. Being able to buy cheap parts and easily upgrade is nice, I've swapped cases 3 times, mobo 4, and now run it under ESXi in a 3u chassis all without losing any data. That I can use whatever size drives I want is nice but it certainly won't saturate a Gig network nor is that needed for movies. For that I'd do FreeNAS - which I also virtualize for an ESXi datastore :-)
I'm multiple revs back on the NUC bios, I don't do sleep or WoL, is there any advantage to my moving to the new bios? I know they fixed the issue with the EFI and Linux, any other big bugs stomped? I've had zero issues with my MCE remotes etc. and am just curious if I'm missing out on anything by not updating. Glad to see Intel is actively working on the bios!
