Hey long time unraid user here. I think I'm in a bit of a pickle, I believe I'm maxed out on drives and I'm quickly running out of space and I need to convert 3 drives from reiserfs. To further complicate things, my situation has changed a bit, and so have the requirements for this build.
- I'm looking for something that will basically just run Unraid + a few docker containers (plex, sonarr, etc)
- Able to do 4k transcoding of minimum 1, ideally, 2 streams
- ideally looking to scale down form factor and keep power consumption low
Here's my original build thread it's largely unchanged, including the flashed IBM M1015 card and current array:
My current thoughts:
- Upgrade to newer Intel with iGPU? Xeon?
- Upgrade to 3x 8TB WD Red? or 2x 12TB Red?
- Fractal Node 304
Where I'm lost:
- Migration Path e.g. how do I go from 7 disks to 4 without losing my data
- Parity?
- M2 Cache?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
