Thanks for the replies guys, I was pretty sure it's just faulty LEDs and I don't really mind. It's the lower end card so the LEDs aren't controllable I just thought maybe there was something funky going on with the power delivery or something. Just wanted to see if anyone had a situation where their LEDs went out then 3 months later the card died.

I have a EVGA GTX 1080 SC and the logo LED on the side of it flickers on and off, the card performs well and I haven't had any issues with crashes or anything but I'm worried there could be something wrong with the card. Has anyone had this issue or know if this is normal behavior? PC Specs: CPU: i7 6700K MB: Gigabyte Motherboard Micro ATX DDR4 LGA 1151 GA-B150M-D3H-GSM PSU : CORSAIR CSM Series, CS550M

Any writing using AFP crashes the finder and thus any applications using the share. Also just in general very un-stable and would prefer not to use it as support for it is going away in future releases.

So I've got a Q30 Storinator from 45Drives currently running UnRaid I've got a 100TB pool and a 1TB Cache. I've got the system hooked up to an iMac over a dual 10Gbe/Thunderbolt 2 connection bonded on both ends. I get expected speeds over afp but it breaks my system. With SMB transfers I get 700MB-1GB/s read speeds to both cache and array but my write speeds are <20MB/s. I already tried NFS and that gives me the same issue of slow writes and fast reads. Anyone have any ideas here? Let me know if there is any system info you need. I'll post basics below.

This is exactly what I was looking for appreciate the help!

I work for a production company in NYC and I'm looking to build/buy a centralized media server to replace the our current system (50+ external drives siting on a bookshelf labeled with sharpie) and looking at the 30 drive model of 45Drives Storinator. This is the perfect fit with 10TB drives to fit our existing ~100TB of data and provide lots of growing room for the next few years. My problem is spending ~$7000 on the server alone is a little out of our price range and was looking to build a comparable or less powerful system for much cheaper, I plan on running UnRaid and would like to have it rack mounted. Just looking for suggestions on hardware, mostly an inexpensive chassis that can handle 24+ drives, MB with enough PCI lanes and raid controllers to connect all the drives. Desired budget is anything less than around $2,500 (excluding drives). I have experience building systems but nothing with more than 6 HDs.
