This is the spec list I threw together. Thoughts? May be reusing drives from a RAID5 R710 server but we'll see. It will mostly run emby along with a few other media apps. Oh and ExpressVPN for remote access. The R710 was running Windows Server 2016 (why???) Im building out a spec list for my friend who runs that R710. He has a fetish for everything being rackmounted. And hotswap.
~8 drives minimum.
