Pluggy

The machine is a dell poweredge t110ii The board and chassis can take: x4 HDDs X2 optics drives X1 305w psu I'm just wondering, if I had x4 HDDs, one parity, SSD for cache. Would it possible, as there is only 4hdds slots available, to put the SSD in place of the second optical drive, so final setup would be, Four HDDs One optical drive One SSD where second optical drive would be.

Sorry for the typo, Meant to be dell poweredge t110ii https://www.google.com/search?q=dell+poweredge+110+v2+spec&oq=dell+powe&aqs=chrome.0.69i59l3j69i57j69i60.2958j0j9&client=ms-android-cubot&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 There's a pdf on the dell website. Okay so I will just get an SSD and set it all up correctly from the get go. Never realised unraid had so many dockers

Thanks for fast reply, thanks for clearing these points up for me, trying to make sense of what I'm wanting to do is a little confusing as I'm learning as i go. The SSD cache drive, could that possibly be added at a later time or would that mean having for format drives etc? Sorry if I caused confusion, if unraid has a docker for emby then yes, possibly other docker options depending on what unraid supports but at the minute I'm trying to keep things simple. So with the setup I've put together there shouldn't be a problem in regards to configuration and my main usage intentions? Thanks

Hi all, I’ve recently started thinking if setting up a basic home server to use as a NAS for emby for use over local network. I’ve read the budget build but still have a few questions as it’s my first server and Nas setup I will be doing so I may get a few things wrong. I’m thinking of using a dell t100v2 3.1ghz Xeon processor, 12gb of ram, standard psu, graphics etc. Wanting to add 3 or possibly 4 3tb wd green caviar HDDs, using one drive for parity, so data on other discs is shared over all the drives. I’m wanting to run unraid so should one drive begin to fail I can swap the dieing drive to a new one and not lose my media/data. I’m thinking of using unraid for my 0S The questions I have are: Is the above spec okay or is something likely to be an issue? Will I need a raid card? Do I need an SSD for cache ? As I say I’m new to this so if I have made an obvious error I would sooner ask and know now before I start buying things. It will only be Nas really over local network Thanks
