This works! I have my TS-464 Unraid setup with dockers (plex,*arrs,qbit).
I know that I am late to the party but just in case anyone gets stuck like I did on installing UNRAID using the manual method: if you get an error when right clicking the batch file in the UnRAID zip file, and running that batch file in administrator mode, please make sure you turn off ransomeware protection, and lower your windows user control settings. If you don’t turn off these settings, you will get a error message in the command line that pops up when trying to make the usb bootable using the batch file. The error is usually “access denied” can’t access MBR or something like that.
Turn off those settings mentioned on your windows 10/11 machine and you can create the bootable drive.
I have two questions really…. isn't the weakest point of failure here that USB key? Also, why can't you flash the USB disk module?
cant access the bios page on a qnap nas 453d, anybody got some suggestions?tried with no drives attached too..
Since I find that Qnap doesn't have a good community, nor enough tutorials to help me do what I want with my NAS (mainly to use docker), would you recommend me to install Unraid instead insted of QTS, and is the support community better at unraid?
Excellent guide. Especially including the San Disk steps which would otherwise be bonus content. Definitely using your Unraid license link for my purchase.
I've heard there are issues with the fan controller using QNAP devices with Unraid? Im considering converting a TS-464 like you've used in this video to Unraid, but im a bit worried about the fans running at full speed. Can you confirm if there was any issues with the automatic fan control with a QNAP TS-464 and using Unraid? Do you need to do anything? Do they spin down when the NAS is not running hot?
My NAS is right next to my desk, fan noise is annoying
A guide just in time for me to convert my QNAP to UnRAID
I tried to install Unraid on my qnap nas ts-453 mini. The installation went well and I was able to run it. But due to my lack of knowledge of Linux and Docker I got really frustrated after installing Jellyfin. I created a shared map in which in copied some media files but Jellyfin couldn't find the path nor the files. After trying Truenas core AND scale AND unraid I decided to give up and rollback my QNAP to QTS and that's where it all went wrong. The final result is that my QNAP nas is dead as a doornail. Reset button does not work, no image on HDMI port, no beeps nothing…. So after three days of "getting nowhere" I must now say farewell to my 2015 QNAP nas. I'll stick with my XPenology pc and maybe one day I'll buy a new "real" nas. I don't blame you or anyone else. I only got myself to blame…. 😕😕😭😭😭😭
Thank you for breaking this down!
You need to have a very particular reason why you would install Unraid. While Qnap has had its problems, Unraid security is not very good. It’s made for repurposing old computer parts into a server. Having played with it, and liking what I have seen, it’s a lot more work than a QNAP or Synology to get set up properly. I used one to do hardware pass through to recreate Win 98 and XP gaming machines, and finding a motherboard to get it going was a nightmare. You cannot install a GPU to a Qnap, so there is no reason for me to do this.
The description is referring to installing Proxmox on QNAP not UNRAID. Did you paste it from another video? It's a bit confusing.
I am thinking of switching over a TS-h973AX which doesn’t include HDMI output. But my understanding is if you prep a Unraid USB and then physically remove the internal USB DOM with Qnap OS the unit will boot from the Unraid USB and you find the correct IP address for Unraid and continue setup from there. Yes?
Hi! I'm in the market for a 2-bay NAS. It would be used as a SMB share with the purpose of direct playing media locally, so no need for transcoding or remote access. At the most two devices would be accessing it at a time:
– A Zidoo Z9X playing a 4K remux (could be 90Gb+)
– A Fire TV Stick 4K Max playing a TV episode (12Gb at the most)
I'm eyeing two options:
1 – WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra (1Gb RAM, Marvell Armada 385 1.3GHz dual-core CPU) [A little cheaper]
2 – Asustor Drivestor 2 AS1102T (1Gb RAM, Realtek RTD1296 Quad-Core 1.4 GHz CPU)
Would any of these two work for me, or do I need something beefier?
I thought Unraid was commercial $$$, not open source…?
