I’m coming up on another space limit and I’m taking this time to reevaluate my setup.
Current setup:
Plex server: windows 10 pro
12700k 32gb ram 10 gig Nic
500gb gen 4 boot
2TB P3 plus seed drive
2Tb 980 pro seed drive
Running plex, arr stack, Qbittorrent, ups software
Storage server: windows server 2019
13100k 16gb ram 10 gig Nic
500gb gen 4 boot
1tb 980 pro cache
4x12 TB refurbished seagate exos driver
Running stable bit drivepool/scanner
Offsite backup:
Synology ds220+
3.7TB usable
My 44 TB of usable storage is almost full, I have personal documents/video x3 duplicated and all of my Linux ISO’s have no redundancy.
I am adding 2x20tb soon but before I do I want to see if it would be smart to move to Unraid in the process.
I will keep my plex server on windows for now, but I have been learning Unraid during my 2 trials I’ve done. Should I change my NAS to Unraid? Will I still get 10gig with nvme read/write cache?
I will not be getting new hardware for Unraid as I’ll be reusing my current server. Is the best course of migration putting the 2x20 tb drives in my plex server, move data to that then repopulate the drives on Unraid?
Any other advice is appreciated.
