My main computer is a 12 year old Intel 4790k with 16GB while my server has a Ryzen 2700X and 96GB.
I'm likely going to switch my server from unRAID to Win11 + snapRAID + Drivepool (even though unRAID has some great features). I don't really use my server for anything besides network file sharing (for myself) these days (with a few VMs for running cloud backups and stuff).
It makes no sense to have my vastly superior hardware dedicated only as a file server and some mild virtualization. I also don't really want to just swap the machines (use my old Intel rig as my server) because of fewer SATA ports, fewer drive bays, limited virtualization capabilities.
If I consolidate to using solely my Ryzen machine for everything (gaming, general use, file sharing, backups, etc.), is that foolish? Obviously, with only one machine, reboots and random issues will affect the uptime of my server functions/applications. Anything else I should consider?
