MSI X870E CARBON WIFI here for about a year, updated with no problems.

Datacenters sucking it all up. The 64Gb I bought last month have gone up $180 already!

Another Seasonic 850 (ATX 3.0 PCIE 5.0 version) and you'll be happy from the peace of mind. My 850 coasts with a similar build and hasn't seen above 500w's

Correct

Started the (Focus to Vertex) swap out of the new power supply last night and bummed the cabling for the motherboard does have a wire loom on the newer series. The individual wires may be of a larger guage and or thicker insulation though.

After pound conversion that is expensive at around $383.

Well sorta, it does...the newer connector has an additional 4 sense pins on the side that should be able to communicate between the GPU and PSU to better manage power.

Ordered mine last night and got a tracking label notification this morning. Stepping up to a 4080 and needed some extra juice for peace of mind.

Repairable sure, if you had the full schematic and proper test equipment to troubleshoot it.

Hate to ask but you did format the drive under Computer Management, correct?

Flashing the controller is the only way to get it to "IT mode" yes. It depends on the model and I have looked into this and will do it if I have the correct model.

If I can't start the Array, how can the RAID be set up?

So restart the RAID controller and create one there? Unraid will then see it?

I did my first install of Unraid to a Dell R720 (LFF) last night and was hoping for an easy job, alas not. Hard drive configuration is as follows. Two 250Gb SSD's, to be used as cache, one 8Tb and four 2Tb hard drives, all SATA. It is my understanding that this will work for starters but I will...

My original post maybe wasn't clear but what I am looking for is a better VPN provider. The one I have now seems slow with a lot of overhead as I just got fiber and see it a lot more. One that can send me new VPN security credentials as I don't want to pay again for a pre-configured router!
